Quetzalcoatl spotted on Lake Pepin!
Eric, aka Quetzalcoatl slaying Lake Pepin late in the day Oct 13th. It was a Huge day with unexpected winds, consistent high 20’s gusting high in the 40’s.

Re: Pete, are you bringing your 85 liter board tomorrow, Thursday?

Windy, wavy and completely lit up! Ramps everywhere for "sending it". 5 or 6 kiters and 6 sailors.

Here’s one read, plenty more to check out as well. https://www.google.com/amp/s/beta.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/05/23/h...

Re: SPI Sailing conditions in Clear Lake, IA..Really!!
The place to be! Dinky sails, dinky boards! Clear Lake State Park! Maybe our paths will cross. I plan to be there early.
