NOAA: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 76. Northeast wind 7 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.











I'm looking at Purgatory. Swim across the cove and walk to the point. NE wind in the 6.9 range.


I was born in a cross-fire hurricane

I'll be out there after 1pm

Awesome day. Rich and I swam across the glassy cove and walked to the point. A turtle sitting on stump in the water was like, "They're, not...they're not coming over here, are they? - who does that??! - SOB!" And he jumped into the water. The NE - NNE wind just hit the point at the top of the cove for an easy beach-start. I sailed my 6.9 with 108L We(Rick, Rich and me) sailed for a solid 3 1/2 hours.

Rick set the Clinton Lake down-winder record. He launched his windsurf board at the The Road launch, and reach after reach, made his way all the way to the dam. And then, up wind leg after up wind leg, made his way all the way back to The Road launch.

Rick upwind making his down-winder. Also letting me know some nice wind is dropping down the lake.



Rick on his final down wind leg making the 2 mile reach to the dam.



Schlog tack. Stay with it.

Do you need whitecaps to have fun? Hell no!



Drag your hand in the water for the insta-pro look.






No hands!
