Warning: rain and heavy cloud cover. This has been the year of rain storm killing wind. Tuesday also on radar - no rain

Might be a good day for the Marina in the afternoon after the rain. SW to WSW wind 5.8 to 4.7 range. Water temp has dropped 20 degrees in less than a month (plant down for maintenance). Sep 21 water temp was 80, we're now down to 60 at the coldest spot. Tuesday also on radar - no rain

Sailed Clinton today 5.8 on 93ltr board hit 31.4mph, got some chop hops and the Ankle feels good, Sylvain and Reid were there, 65 degree air and like 60 degree water was great! Tomorrow should be good as well, little colder 55 but some sun and most importantly wind!
