Re: Duluth heaven.

I am watching the lake roll from St.Mary's Hospital, beautiful day. My wife gave birth to #3 this morning, Rowan Margaret. She is 9lbs, 6oz. All 3 of my kids have been born on sunny NE sail worthy days. No better Oman could a windsurfer receive, in my opinion. I'm predicting future wave killers! :D

Re: NW GALE WARNING

I'm in on Monday. I haven't sailed yet this year, I figured it would be a good day to re orientate myself to the Mother. I hope to be at Port Wing by 11:00. Who's in boys?!

A bunch of us were sailing. 80 degrees, blue water, 5.5sail, beautiful swell........ then the rescue came. A bunch were pulled out of the water and one didn't make it. Never have...

Mother is Superior.

Heck YA Randy! Duluth sailing is THE MOST INSANE in MN, however, one never knows what they will get. Even living in Duluth, one has to grab your gear and head down to the lake and check out conditions. But when it's on.......................... OH DADDY, IT'S ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sailed from 2 until 5. 2 to 3 was gusting 25 to 60. 3 to 4 filled in and 4 to 5 was 50 sustained with big gusts. I have a glow on epic proportions! In the gusts I had to water start in the straps and harness line...

I'm ready boys! Hate that cold water, but I'm got the windsurfing shakes. Sorry I missed this past weekend. I was putting 4' by 16' steel on a roof at my cabin. I almost caught some air. HOLY CRAP was it windy! Call me when you boys go out. I am only on call every 3rd week now that I'm at St.Mary's....
