NOAA: Sunny, with a high near 75. Southwest wind 14 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.









Looks like a good day for F11. Wind SW in the 5.8 to 4.7 range. 8:00am to 1:00pm looks like the zone. Early bird gets the worm. Who's with me?

Man I’m tempted to do another trip to Clinton tomorrow. It looks so much better then what’s for over here, again.

I have my gear loaded and will be leaving shortly, Reid you still going?

Yep, I'm going, Chris.

Good call Reid, A31 was the right spot to be this morning. Good first session, 5.8 for a couple hours. I liked how you could find chop to jump starboard and port and just right for 5.8. Caught the early-bird window.

Fun day at Area31. We thought we would be at F11 but then we saw A31 was open. I sailed 5.8 with 108 FSW. I think I could have made a 4.7 work with my 95 L. I was pretty lit at times on my 5.8. The wind started to go off shore toward the end of the sesh. We got out there around 8:30 and got off the water around 11:00. Air temp hit 80 F today. Water temp at Area31 is 58 F.
