I've been sick, but am not getting any better.
May as well go
(I took that approach once way back when I was a pole boarder and got pneumonia )
Hopefully that won't happen again.

We will just wait and see on the timing, I guess (?)

Allen,
I love ya man, but you are going to burn in hell. May the peace of the the profit be with you. I'm taking Friday off and after my Salat I'm up for dawn patrol. I can only do the down winder if it is toward Mecca. I think sun up at the skyway sounds good then see what the day brings. it should be an epic day ishna'Allah. Salam Alikom my brother.

Wow.
25 degree temperature differences are forecast inland b/n the low and high on Sat and Sunday.
http://www.baynews9.com/ForecastCenter.html

To me, that has always spelled some serious wind for a couple hours starting about a half hour after sunrise out at the SW and east beach.
Most likely near/immediately following sunset too. It should be good Saturday and Sunday mornings from the E or ENE.

It's gonna be cold though..... , at least at first.
Usually once it's comfy out, the wind is over with and gone. (that's when most people show )

We missed you on the last one when you went to NB instead, Bayflite

Is it really going to do much tomorrow?
I know a few sights are saying so, but.......
I hope it does. Fingers crossed.

Al I was at SandKey with you, bob, wolfie, and scott the other day. Not sure if you remember.....anyways, gulf downwinder sounds mighty nice thurs. SandKey sounds like a good starting point, or maybe even north clearwater beach to sand key.

Many blessings bestowed upon thee, the Jihad burns bright in you


The prophet says it will indeed blow from the west after the ritual prayers @3pm

I didn't think coldfronts existed any more, so was fairly suspicious about an actual NWr. Plus Accuweather was saying nil yesterday in their forecast.

But you guys seem to be right (as always) and prayers are working.
You can see a narrow frontal boundary up in the PanHandle right now and it seems to be moving toward us pretty good.
Winds behind it seem to be at around 20 knots or more.
I guess it's just a matter of how fast it gets here. It looks like it's movin' pretty good (like noon or 1pm good)

Is it possible to be rigged and on the water by 3pm, so we can ride a couple hours?
Maybe earlier? What are your guy's timelines?

I want to make it but just found a rather large cavity at the gumline of my rear lower molar last night.
(I was wondering why my whole lower jaw has ached for days and I am so fatigued - Dentist Dad will not be impressed).
