I think Alex has a new kite he wants to try out. Unless I beat him to it.

By the way I'd like to ride SSW Fri AM but the tide is high around 5:00 and not low until 11:30. Pump in the parking lot and wade to the bar to rig??

We'll be there @ SSW early fri.,

I think the tide will be low and going lower,

But you are right, the bar to the right is where you rig and launch from during high tide

Don't forget your drysuit, it'll be nippy , air in the 50's/ maybe even high 40's/ but at least we should get wind before it dies at 10am and warms up to the 70's

Bob,

I was thinking the same thing about the tide. Low tide isn't until fairly late, by DP standards.

So, who is going out tomorrow am?
I am seeing different forecast temps. Is it going to be 49 or 58?
Big difference.

This morning was good until 9am.
It's the same old story at the SW - with a 25 degree temperature differential b/n morning low and afternoon high, the winds picked up as it warmed (as the sun rose) then it gradually died starting at 9 am. The wind sensor for the SW was actually fairly spot on for this a.m.

Adam and I are the only ones who got there in time and really nailed it.
Lots of people showed after it tapered off and was dying.
