I'd bet Cannon is open since the lake across the street opened already.

Re: Monday at Cannon

Might see you there Pete.
Depends if the wind makes it north or not... it's 45 minutes less water time on Cannon if Waconia is blowin'.

lost wetsuit leaving waconia

I screwed up and left my black and blue Aqualung shorty wetsuit on the top of my board and drove off just after 7:00 following the great day of sailing. (thursday 5/17) It could have blown off in the lot but most likely along the road south from the launch. If anyone found it, it would be awesome to...

Re: Roll Call Pepin...

Niiice! Glad you got out Pete. Those pics are fun. I was planning to cut out of work early and hit the water with you but the wind just kept looking like it was slipping by and then when it finally did kick up, I wouldn't have been able to get there before 4:00. Plan B was a night ride with my MTN b...

Re: Byllesby FYI...

Did he say why? Problems with Mr Hanky swimming in the flood waters?

Re: Cannon open?

Those sat pics must look open when the ice gets dark because all those lakes look ice-free.

Cannon open?

The satallite picture looks like Cannon is open. Also, Byllesby and a good chunk of Waconia. (last shot that showed it) Can anyone verify? http://ge.ssec.wisc.edu/modis-today/index.php?satellite=t1&product=true_color&date=2010_03_28_087&overlay_sector=false&overlay_state=true&ove...

Re: Tethered Kite Flying

I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth but I think 4 or 5 feet of rope to the chicken loop would let you sit on the tail gate of a pickup and fly the kite around pretty safely without being part of the kites power train.

Re: Tethered Kite Flying

I don't think (I hope not) he's talking about having the car pull him around up in the air like the video a few years ago. Just using it for an anchor and practicing controlling the kite.

Is there a reason I'm not thinking of that would be dangerous?

Re: Wed., plan accordingly!

Anyone know about how long of a drive it is to Cannon from the Cities?? Takes me about 35 - 40 minutes from home in Apple Valley. Just over 5 of that is getting to the 35E / 35W junction so tack on about a half hour to whatever you think it would take you to get that far (Burnsville) and you should...

There's a good chance I will be able to get out.

I haven't worked Fridays for almost a year now but somehow never get to play in the wind. This time the only thing that could stop me is if I have to stay home with my daughter for reason.

Re: SATURDAY

Hey Pete.
What happens at Pepin if the wind is bouncing around between SW and W?

Do you get a swirley mess or do the bluffs just guide it if it's close enough?
