NOAA: Sunny, with a high near 81. Breezy, with a southwest wind 14 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 38 mph.








Looks like a good day for F13 or the Marina. SSW turning to SW in the 5.8 to 4.7 range. Campground might be too busy. I could do either. Where do you guys want to sail?

I up for either spot as well. It's dependent on how much SW it goes and if the sites are taken. I will be down there early so I will check to see if F12 - F13 are open. I will let you know. However, I can't post it because the login is still now working for me on my phone.

Update: Bloomington telling me to put a 4.2 in the car with its 30 gusting 36 mph at 9:00 am.

Wind forecast is it won't turn to 210 degrees until 3:00 pm.

SSW wind for Sunday too - slightly lighter.

Fun day at the Marina. The wind turned to WSW in the afternoon. The Bridge Pool would have been offshore during peak wind. Water temp was mid 60s F at The Narrows. We did speed runs around the beginner cove down wind of the breakwalls.

Some folks from the University of Illinois Sailing Club were out. They weren't afraid of the high wind. Glad to see them make Clinton Lake their home again.
