Looks like a good for the Marina. Who's going?

Upgrade # 2: Somebody ordered the Orange Expansion Pack for 2:00 pm. SailFlow has their map in Eastern Time, They don't believe anybody could be windsurfing in the Central Time zone.

What’s the verdict for Saturday late afternoon?
I assume
- no need for wetsuit
- 5.3 to 5.8 m2 range
- 106 l better than 135 l board
- launch?

I think I can make it to the lake around 4 pm

5.8 to 4.7 maybe 4.2.
Go with your 106. - bring all your sails.
Wet-suit optional.
Might get a little rain around 4:00

Tuesday on the radar.

I hope not 4.2...
What’s the launch spot

I'm heading to the Marina launch

Sailed the Free-b (98ltr score) and 5.8 sail at 1pm. Just took it easy, foot straps but not aggressive. Could make all my jibes no problem and got fast rides just spilled wind for my ankles sake. Didn’t sail long because it started picking up and was hard to miss ramps. Didn’t want to risk it. Stefan and Sepi were there with their beautiful daughter floating her on a board, windsurfing families rock! Good to be back on the water!

First arrow: me arriving at the lake
Second arrow: me leaving the lake

Could not have planned that one better ...,
This has been this kind of a day all week

Another fun day at the Marina. I sail 4.7 with 95 L FSW. Got on the water around 11:00 am. I tacked my up to The Narrows. Wind was patchy and shifty. Water had big cross chop. The wind started to get its groove on only to have rain to the north west mess up the wind. We didn't get hit with rain at the lake but Bloomington did. See graph with wind shift to NW. Great to see Staffan, Sepi and daughter. Hope to see you guys out more. Sure enough the wind shut completely off around 4:00 with rain getting too close. Great to see everybody out.
