Yeah, I noticed the sensor called Mille Lacs on Sailflow is showing 13kts SW already this morning while most others are pretty dead. Does anyone know if that's the sensor at Carlsona?
Not sure what to do, don't necessarily want to hump it all the way to Milly, but thinking about asking for permission!

I don't know about the sensor......., but for sure we will have some wind.

Heading up
I do favor Reddy over Malmo. Will compare both to decide where to launch.

Yes, the sensor on the sailflow page is the reading from the wind sensor at Carlsona...
You can also get to the detailed Carlsona listing and webcam image at the link below:
