I also had to borrow one of Scott's kites (6m) because the 9m would have been waaaaay too much for 40.
I appreciate it also, thanks. |

No problem on the loaner kites.
Al obviously got the better loan. That 2002 6m C kite looked pretty funny (and small) out there. It was blowing up to 40 when we launched though, so I thought it would work. I told you you wouldn't get blown off of it in 40. It needs 30 to really work though, kinda funny really. Quote:
I checked this sensor http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/obhistory/KSPG.html and it's blowing 14 there. It's usually about 3 to 4 knots more at the SW and the SW sensor says 20, so 15/17 now at SW right now seems reasonable to me. It will probably spike out at the SW at about 8:30 am (it's currently 7:40) for about 1.5 hours, then taper a tad, then die by 11. That's the typical pattern on a day "like this" and my guess, for what it's worth. It's pretty cold though. |

I am working on that website. Not worth it to only get one hour and freeze. 3 hours freezing is worth it.
Tonight would be decent NP weather if there were water at Lassing. |
