After our fun Corpus trip last year over Easter am planning to go down again this year leaving on April 11 and coming back on April 18.... Staying at Motel 6 again even though they have dropped the weekly $200 rate. Phone 361.991.0120
Think it makes sense to go to Corpus over Easter in April. While 30 NOAA wind averages show an fractional increase in wind power in May over April, my kiting/poleboarding logs over 15 years show May to be pehaps our best kiting month in Chicago. In this regard, I believe in the old poleboarding adage...."never leave wind to find wind".... In the years of going to Corpus in April I can't say I remember missing a day on the water with lots of day I prayed it would stop blowing so we could get some rest from the nuclear winds in April that on average blow harder than the North shore of Maui during that period.
If you want to hook up in Corpus over Easter, call my cell 312.919.7566.
Spent Tuesday through Friday of last week in Miami which produced four days of steady 15/20 mph ESE winds. First day headed for Crandon Park on Key Biscayne...
