I am going to be at the lake around 11:00am tomorrow. Reid, are you going to be able to make it out? Still figuring out where to launch. Hope others can make it out as well.

Looks like it is going to turn from south to SW around the time I'm going to get to the lake. Hope to get the chance to sail the bridge pool, if not then the marina will have to do. I'm going to be liking the ~60 degree water and 69 degree air temp!

Rain is factor again and could be a rain-out. Also the wind going west in the afternoon.

Looks good as of 10:30am here. We'll have to watch for redevelopment in the afternoon while out there.

Got to F11, rigged 4.7, wind coming down the bridge pool, beautiful swell, water temp 65, I'm all set and that's when we hear thunder. Wait in the cars for storm to pass. The storm passes and now the wind has too much west in it for the bridge pool. We un-rig and try Parnell(eastern most) the wind there was funky as we try to catch puffs. So the day was a bust.

Parnell made me feel claustrophobic. The wind is squirrelly because of the tree line, the wind would have to be at just the right direction to be any good at all. Even then there’s not much water to work with. I think we should take that off of the launch site page if it’s on there.
