Keep Hope Alive! Fri. April 13th, Clear Lake, IA (good wind)

Post by Quetzalcoatl »

Looks good for NEXT WEEK's Weekend! (not this weekend). (Friday) April 13th "The Clear Lake Windsurfing Group!" (maybe just me), (a solo performance) but

That's I'll I need if that's what it's to be! air temp. just shy of 44 degree, but Wind blowing from N-NW at 22 mph!

Come on down, SPRING IS ALMOST 1/3rd over! Get it when you can.

Update on ice conditions on Clear Lake...Today, April 5, 2018, hard to believe, but it's only half open for open water on Clear Lake, IA.

This is really late folks!

Eric, (the Legendary Deviator) out.

Links for Clear Lake web cameras may help. I posted these in the general web cam thread tonight and figured they might be of special interest in this thread.

I'd drive down to Clear Lake (sailed there once before) but the forecast for there is the same as here: rain.

Rain is good! We're wet anyway, when you're out doing deep waterstarts. I think Friday, the 13th is the better windy day.

The only thing that is worrisome is the possibilityy of Lightning strikes! Yike! Kriky!

I don't want to catch a buzz this way!

Eric out.
