Tales of Windsurfing on a Lake in the Southeast U.S.

April Fool’s Day indeed (windwise)

Today’s forecast was identical to yesterday’s; yesterday afternoon the call for today was 5-15, but by the 10:00 news, it had become S 10-20.

Tim had family matters to content with, so we planned to get out around 1. No problem, it built all morning, but by 1, it was 6-10. After watching it for 1/2 an hour, we decided to blow off sailing today.

Shadow and I drove around town, visiting several parks. Finally around 5, we were at Riverfront Park and I thought we had made a bad call and should have sailed. Now I see what we missed, which was a basically very gusty and shifty day on the lake. You can’t see it in the graphs, but we watched it go from SE to NW numerous times.
