Yeah straight north can have a shadow at Waconia. Cannon has a nice rigging area, though can get deep pretty quick. Hmmmm

I hope to be somewhere by 10 tomorrow am.

So what's the call for tomorrow? Cannon or Waconia?

What's the best tool for forcasting the wind at cannon? Rochester seems a bit too far away. According to weather.com, Faribaut will top out ~14mph tomorrow, which is comparable to Wac.

Also, the times are Zulu time (military time). At this time of year I THINK you subtract 5 hours to get the local time. Is it 5 or 6 hours? Anyway, 1800Z is 1:00pm, 2100Z is 4:00pm, etc...if your going with 5 hour difference.
