Looks like The Corner or a spot in the campground if it's got SSW in it. Water temp at the West Side 44

Fun day. Warm, I think the air temp hit 72. Water is 56 degrees at The Corner. Chris rigged a full 5.2 and I rigged a flat 5.8. Wind was up and down. Overpowered a little to schlogging at times. Had fun! Last year my first day out was in April.

Cold was not a factor at all for sure (Jenn). Feels good to be back on the water! Hopefully the past couple weeks is giving an indication of the wind will be having this year. As always, thanks for the pics Reid! You have to let me borrow that fancy camera of yours so I can snap some action shots of you next time.

NICE! Looks like a fun day. I'm very jealous. I tore my acl and incured some other knee damage skiing this winter, surgery March 23rd. No windsurfing for a long time for me. Maybe i can help out and take more pictures this year. Anyways, great to see you guys riping it. wendell g.

Oh no, sorry to hear, Wendell. We'll come up to visit you and your family this summer.

Damn, hope at least you were trying some sick trick when it happened? I have sailing a big NW with you on my list this year, perhaps we can still have that cook out and some beers! Will let you know next time I'm heading up their! Take care of that knee and get perhaps by fall you will be back at it, I screwed up my MCL a few years back but no surgery. I'm good as new, have to think about which knee it was, hope you can say the same. Later!
