Re: Who sailed Sun. or Mon? let's hear about it! Let us have

Cannon - Monday. Five of us. Where was everyone else? Water was cold, air was warm but it was good with some holes as usual. 5M and smaller sails. I rode my 4.2 all afternoon and eventually went down to my 3.7 and got some rides on that. Hoping for a better year wind-wise. This was a good start!

Re: Cannon today

Yes - great to see the crew. Most of the usual suspects that show up for a classic Cannon day. Looks like another one is on tap for Oct 1 but I have to stay local. Still good wind state-wide!

Re: Windsurf Man speaks: If U rent gear (Relax!! don't gripe

Same with http://worldwinds.net at Bird Island Basin just outside Corpus Christi. It's all flat water sailing in the Laguna Madre but they rent current year stuff from some of the top brands. I made a quick day trip down there when I was visiting my parents in Austin TX a few years back. Just showed...

Re: Where are people going on Thursday and Friday?

Glad you made the trip. Love Waconia in big W-NW winds. The West Side Boyz are always there and when it's crazy windy and cold the windsurfers usually outnumber the kite crew at the Wac. Regardless, the stoke is the same!

Re: Where are people going on Thursday and Friday?

If you can make the drive I suspect there will be a good crew of hard cores out at Waconia. If my schedule works out that's were I'll be.

Cannon Lake - Saturday?

Anyone thinking of windsurfing Cannon tomorrow? Any word on how "green" it is?

Looks like the most wind and t-storms will hold off until late

Breezy, with a south wind 15 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph

Re: Cannon on Wed afternoon, Bueller...anyone

Did it go late? I got down there early since I had a narrow window of time. Early reading were 20-26 but by 11 a.m. it was 15-20. Not enough for a 4.7. I had to bail around 12:30 and head back to the cities. Got some decent kiting on White Bear so no lemons today, just lemonade!

Cannon on Wed afternoon, Bueller...anyone

Looks like it might be nice in the afternoon: Mostly sunny, with a high near 60. Breezy, with a south southeast wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.

Might make the trip.

Not enough time to check out Mille but the Wack should be pretty darn good.

4-5M sails. Very good conditions if not a little "green" on the lake! Hoping for MORE.

Re: planning on 3 seasons session today

Ice - will be better today down at Wildwood. Straight NW so plenty of power to get out and upwind. There was probably too much West in the wind Sunday which make WW real difficult (and dangerous some days) to get out and upwind.
