Clinton Lake Forecast







Looks like a classic 4:00pm blow. S wind turning SSW in the 5.8 range. Orange color near by Clinton on the SailFlow map means a guy should have a 4.7 in the car. I'm wanting to do F13 but Marina will also work. Anybody thinking about Thursday? Saturday and Sunday are on the radar. Will get their own topic later. Ya gotta keep'em separated.

I'm going to be there in afternoon with Barker giving him a lesson and getting some rides myself. I have come a long way in only a week. I think it was the taste of windsurfing I gave my ankle the other day. It's like WTF, I'm the only thing holding things up! See you on the water, maybe even Sunday.

I have the free-b board and gear loaded in the car, looks like good day for teaching. I will be at the Marina if my son makes it and if not then probably F13 or somewhere along that shore line.

See you at the Marina in the afternoon.

Fun afternoon at the Marina. Sailed 5.8 with 108 FSW. Wind started offshore then ended up onshore by the end of the day. Rich snuck out late afternoon. We sailed up wind in front of The Narrows. And found some cleaner wind(SW-WSW) up there. But the swell size was bigger. A lot for a Falcon. A big difference in the main pool compared to the marina pool. You could also feel the water temp drop. Warm day, air temp hit 87 °F. Water temp?...Rich wore a shorty! We got off the water around 6:00 pm. Chris gave his son and his friend a windsurf lesson. I gave and installed a single back strap(wide) on his "Free Board". And also gave him a new sail head strap for his 3.7. You're all set, ankle permitting.
