Anyone,,,please anyone! If you sailed during these "pretty good breezy days," could you share some of the "Stoke" (some of the thoughts, details) of
you're wind experiences of the week with those of us who are "Weekday Working Slaves" and can't get out to sail except on weekends when the wind is "weak!"
Wind tends to die down after workdays, (close to sunset)...and I used to sail in the dark with a flashlight duct-taped to my helmut (this was my running light). Usually not much
wind at night...and that's why I gave up windsurfing at night.
So, Please, again I bequeath you, ask of you...to share some wind details of this last few days...(here on LAKAWA) not on Facebook,,,but here on LAKAWA.
Thank you.

OK, here goes. Tuesday enjoyed some good side on swell at Reddy. Well powered on a 6.2, a few splashes of rain but no thunder. Not another kite or sail in sight.
Wednesday, Round Lake (Nisswa) great planing conditions with a 7.3 especially on the north end where the wind was coming off Gull across 371. Met another windsurfer at the public access.
Thursday, North Long Lake (Merrifield public access), first time at this access, launch is very weedy and NW wind was chopped up pretty bad. Got in some speed runs on the 7.3 but I always had to be ready to bail out of the straps in an instant. Gull probably would have been a better choice.
I'll take 3 consecutive planing days in August anytime.

Thanks Mike for some of the "high-lights" of your windsurfing week.
