Seems we may be able to get some rides Friday and Saturday afternoon. Looks like they are calling for more wind down south, I may be sailing at Lake Shelbyville Saturday.

Friday starting to shape up nicely. Another day at the Marina. Head up to The Narrows. Still need to watch for storm development.

Ady, thanks for the invite and beer offer! Can't make it up there Saturday I'll be down on Lake Shelbyville. Perhaps Sunday, will have to see how things go. If not this weekend than I will make it another time.

It looks like Sailflow has backed off the forecast for today. I hope they are wrong! The local forecast is saying windy! I have my gear packed in the car and I'm planning on being on the lake around 1:30pm. I'll be at the Marina if anyone wants to join me. Come on wind!

West Side went off. Better wind today then Wednesday. Rippin' on the 5.8 with the 68cm FSW. Nice to catch the peak wind of the day on the water. Only a couple of motorboats out. Water was rough which is typical. If you want to see if your board "eats chop" this is your testing ground. Water temp is 68 at West Side. Wore my 3.2 suit. Had some good wipe outs. My sinuses and ear are still sore. Thanks for the heads up, Chris, on the back-on forecast. I would of missed it.
