Wed Wind

Post by peterrib »

Gusty enough to make me stand on shore and wonder if it would be any fun or just the challenge. After watching Jerry and Rob do battle I finally jumped in. All 7ms. The last time I stood on that dock wondering if I should or not I got this reading on my meter. Hope you can read it. I took the picture in my Jeep after I decided to go home. Steady 40+ with gusts to 52.

The meter reads 52.9. That was 2 years ago when I went home. It is still the highest wind read for me and just haven't reset it. This Wed we were getting gusts to 42 @ 4 pm. We all rode. Heading to Washington now.
