Anybody planning to go out on Sunday? CC bay w/a high tide at 3ish will be good from 11 on. W/a good west wind, a tee time of 11:30 will be stressless sailing at Skaket due to the low water.
Last weekend was a hit. With a little luck Im gonna try again.

I sailed at Pt Judith from 12:30-4:00. During the last few hours my hands were a little numb and my feet were very numb. My hands warmed up right away when I stopped at sunset but my feet took a long time. I like the glacier gloves that i use for my hands but would like to find a better bootie liner for my
feet> great day !

| It certainly was blowing yesterday. I saw two kites in the distance when I was working with my kites getting ready for snow or ice kiting. The waves were pretty steady on Vineyard sound which would be rather rare for it. If only these conditions existed in the summer. |

I had a pair of Feet Heaters for 20 years. Tried several others untill a pair of ONeill 7mm round toes. Fell in love with them right off. Check the sizes as they run small.
