It was time to rinse off the salt. 92L,5.2 switched to the 77L at 10. Sailed up to maggies where the wind was more filled in. A couple others out. Toasty warm....
Shaping up to be one of the choice Fall days it appears. Quite mild temps, 20 to 30+ winds. Hoping to time it right, likely arriving 11:45 for long lunch...
I sailed the early shift at Marrowstone-Pt. Flagler this Sunday morning. 3.7/ 90L from 9 to 11, mostly rugged terrain with some nice shoulder-high swells....
Way to go Jay... that's hard-core :) And, the local Seattle winds may still kick up this afternoon... but you're right, it's really crankin' up in the north...
Not sure about local seattle winds today because of the SE prefrontal pattern, but am considering marrowstone, currently averaging 40, if others are going. It...
MM5 suggests some wind on the lake from 1 or 2 pm. NOOA says "S WIND 15 TO 25 KT". Water temps are around 51, air is 51-52, but it may rain. Is anyone planning...
Eddy Patricelli: Travlin' Man Your tenure at WindSurfing lasted how long? Did you have any educational training that qualified you to be a magazine editor? How...
Seeing how I am the only one sailing this place, I am considering sailing there the third sunday in a row! My buddy from PDX may drive up. Winds rignt now...

Thanks Ken for the story... a lot goes into an undertaking (or even an attempt at an undertaking) of this magnitude. And yes, it is very tough when you're not...
sailed there a few time sevral years ago. Like the inside of an old top loading washing machine..........psycho-chop!! No ways my knees would hold up to that...
Anybody planning to go down and race? I was there last year (see photo), but the shore pound was so bad that only a few actually got off the beach. That did...
Thanks Bob. I think I might do number one. As to chop, I totally agree - Lk WA is very choppy for my inexperienced taste at Marsh or Waverly even at 7.5...
Here are a couple tips that worked for me. 1. Put a base on a piece of plywood and practice sail flips where it is calm (from R. Nash). Flip till the boom...
A few weeks back I purchased a Mega cat with 7 sails and a whole slough of extra parts to teach my son how to windsurf and also for me to use on lighter wind...
I used these back in the early '80's while sailing in winter. Sailed in the snow passing duck hunters who thought they were braving the conditions. These are...
PS - (I should've added this before) Alexey (and others), I also have an extra O'Neill Hooded Vest available if anyone is interested, contact me. It is 3mm I...
Alexey, Mine are open palm, very similar to the picture you posted. I think they're best because you can peel them back onto your wrist with your teeth, even...
... I use open palm mitts below 50F. http://www.isthmussailboards.com/prodinfo.asp?number=NW98435 When my hands are warm enough I fold them back and sail bare...
Yep I made a mistake in the Winduro. My hands were freezing after 30 minutes of sailing straight downwind, unhooked, in the kinda windy and gusty conditions. I...
A lot of sailors use open-palm gloves/mittens. They are widely available. My observation over the years is that you can sail without gloves down to 50 degree...
Wind is coming but water and wind is chilly. The fingertips are freezing. I tried sailing in gloves and my forearms are screaming murder in about 20-30 minutes...
There was no arm twisting pressure intended. I was just trying to keep the Winduro (and you) going through another year. The more you sail now the more you...
