NOAA: Partly sunny, with a high near 87. Breezy, with a south wind 16 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 1pm.
Water temp at AREA 32 is 78 degrees. That was warmer than the air temp around 1:00pm. Wore my 3.2 only for sun protection. I was hot in it. Missed the morning wind. It was ragging around 9:30am. I rigged 5.8 and Chris rigged 5.7. Rode my RRD FSW 108. Good day to test the low end of 5.8 on it. My wind meter readings were an avg of 14 - 16 kts. Lulls to 9 - 12 kts. Highest gust 18.7 kts. We schlogged around and chased puffs. It was a fun day.
Chris ripped this duck jibe.
The RRD FSW 108 turns easy. Can't wait to get it on Lake Michigan.
