Thanks, Reid. Sorry David for not posting the visual forecast, but I was looking to the computer model for Nearshore 44.7 -86.94. The forecast has since changed. But I was able to pull up this reading yesterday showing high winds for the afternoon, and tomorrow.

Files 1985 and 1986 are the forecast I just pulled off sailflow for today and tomorrow. Gusts to 60km/h with flat water would be pretty good, I guess. Seems like the models are all a bit different, though.

Things looked good on the wind meters from 5:00 pm to sunset. Anybody hit it somewhere?

Me, Mike and Rich sailed the Wall. When I got in it was a perfect 6.5 but then it dropped and I was slogging for a while. 30-40 min later when I was just about to come ashore to rig up it started picking up again . It was after 8 PM when we left and I was completely exhausted at that point.

Flat. Well, flat if you're from Maui. 3-6ft at Montrose kicked my butt. Rog looked much better, if a bit underpowered.

It was the first time in 10 years I'd sailed in real wind, and the first time ever in waves. The ezzy50 was great. My techno formula, not so much. The front fin Chris added is good for light air but made beach starts super hard. Board control is super hard with the CE so far forward. There was no way I was going to uphaul in those waves, so I spent a lot of time getting slammed around an fighting to get a foot close enough to the board to jump on.

Lessons:
- rear fin only when I can't uphaul.
- I'm not quite ready for waves. :p
- wearing a harness too tight makes it hard to breath, which makes you weak.
- let go instead of flighting and getting launched.

See y'all out there,
Dan
