Saturday Downwinder
This weekend is looking good.
Time for a downwinder, if not in Naples or somewhere else, then here. Maybe one at the beach on Saturday and then one from Gandy mimicking this year's race, Sunday. Saturday Southwest winds around 20 knots becoming northwest 20 to 25 knots by afternoon. Seas 2 to 4 feet building to 4 to 6 feet in the afternoon. Bay and inland waters choppy. Showers likely. Sunday Northeast winds 20 to 25 knots. Seas 4 to 7 feet. |

Yep. That'd be nice. You in?
Donna was working on some stuff yesterday (riding toeside and carving into heelside, and carving out of heelside into toeside) that should increase her comfort and fun in the waves. She was looking pretty great on her new kite (purple, of course). |

I dunno, it's a real tricky situation. Does Dunedin work on both SW and NW? I assume so. But I gotta make sure a windsurfer is set up to go and alright in a flattish water area

Oh. I don't know.
We will be doing John's Pass to PaG, most likely. |

Can't you convince the windsurfer to ride in the Gulf?

Bay and inland waters choppy. Chance of showers in the evening. Sunday Northeast winds 15 to 20 knots. Bay waves 2 feet. Bay and inland waters choppy. |

Maybe. But I have faith.
Accuweather is saying wind and they are correct most of the time. http://www.accuweather.com/forecast-...ay=3&hbhhour=8 15 is more than plenty for me, anyway. I won't be a bit surprised if it's solid 30. This is guessing game type stuff. |

I'd love to do a roundwinder! thats one helluva day up the coast and back!
I'll probably start at IRB with some folks, head up to clearwater/dunedin and then come back, maybe take a break for some food and a cold beer! |
