Great web cam! I love the flag in the corner!!!

There was quite a crowd out there yesterday. I don't hit med very often, but usually there is only one or two other people out. Yesterday, there was probably 5 - 8 peeps plowing through the mashed potatoes...

I forgot to take Tighe's Rain-X advice - sure could have used it!! Stopped off at the autoparts store on the way home.

I can't believe we can still drive on the lake!

What a season!

HA ha, I was out there at 4:30 in front of Clifton Launch... by that time winds were a bit light for the red 13m. Troubles keeping her in the air, packed up and went home w/ wet gear. :( Still got the heart pumping walking out there in ski boots and pumping her up, so that's a plus. Guess I'll have to wait till Fri / Sat.

Med is nuking right now - checked it at the East Beach around 11 and it felt like a steady 20mph and with gusts well over 30.
Saw someone taking a Lakawa lession...looked pretty good zipping around on a trainer.

Someone is setting up right now (see webcam). 8)
