Robin...thanks for the note. I'll be there to sell some good gear. PS...thanks for the instruction referrals....really appreciate it. I was able to teach Eric...
Rick, That sounds like a good plan. I have to mow the lawn and get some other chores done today anyway. For once we will have the same sail (9.8m size at...
Since Lake Wenatchee is not an irrigation source, I doubt there is a teacup diagram for it. Besides, isn't Wen always at about the same level all the time? ...

The 7:00am report already shows Ellensburg blowing at 18. The cross-mountain gradient is already .07" and climbing, and the Gorge forecast is for increasing...

Anyone think it would be worth sailing somewhere in Lake Washington / Puget Sound today? My biggest sail is a Retro 7.5... But I've been itching to get back...
John, We sent out a mailer for the swap meet that should be in your box soon. If you do not get this send me an email with your address and I will make sure...

... Yes - there are two incoming rivers and one outgoing river - no dams etc. During the spring melt the water level can come up several feet. The changes in...
Bruce and I wave sailed for about an hour Saturday Morning. The wind was light, but we could see some outside whitecaps and decided to give it a try - Bruce...
I drove around through Tacoma to the Kitsap Peninsula where I windsurfed Saturday. The wind was very light, but with a long board and an 8.0 sail it provided...
Rimrock was quite nice today. Somewhat up and down and gusty, but not bad. Glenn: 9.8/FW/70 Me: 9.8/FW/70 It was a tad light for the 9.8 until about 3:30 when...

Mm5's ETA 4km forecast was the Bible of PacNW windcasting for me, especially for anything east of the Cascades. For years I've all but picked not only my sail...
It's pretty dead in the summer in Miami. At best you'll get some storms that you can chase. There's typically a rental spot on Virginia Key, on the south...
Hi Eric : For Miami, contact : Sailboards Miami - Owner: Ovidio They are located on the Key Biscayne causeway. Most of there gear is Bic/Neil Pryde. Decent...
Robin, I'm sure the success of a swap meet is related to the number of intested people that know that the swap meet is taking place. Besides our friends here...
Yah, I noticed that too. Still have the 12 km SLP GFS forecast though which is also very good yet somewhat delayed compared to the ETA model runs. Will see...
Yeah, but it's like using the Weather Channel vs standing by the river looking at the whitecaps. I seldom (har -- I WISH) jump high enough to care about winds...

You don't have to go all the way down to Floras for jibe lessons. All the schools in the Gorge teach jibing. If you are looking for a video, the one I...

My jibe tutorial is on its way to you via e-mail. Many people have told me it's the best they've ever seen. Hope it helps. It took me far more anguish and...
Having lived in Florida and the Keys for 12 years, I can help you out. In late May there's not much to talk about. All you can hope for is a sea breeze late in...
I know I'm not making 4 or 5 of those critical moves that Gary mentioned, so I always end up off balance rounding up and sinking at the end of my jibes. I'm...
Eric, Be sure to call Sailboards Miami the day or the day before you plan on sailing. He has slowed down his operations and is frequently closed if there is...

The other thing worth trying is landsailing. I was jibing in about 10 minutes flat on a landsailor, which helped build some muscle memory for the sail...
Tell me more about MM5 - I have looked at it out of curiosity but never have tried to second-guess the NWS forecasters with it. BTW - the UW MM5 is still...
