Trying to take advantage of the a.m. winds, what's the earliest I can get into West Dennis or Kalmus? Would like to be on the water at 6:00am if I can.

Kalmus gate opens at 9 AM for parking. Hope the wind holds on that late tomorrow.

Sweet!! That is the way to start the day. Glad someone was on it. Very Happy

I was on a 12 pitch roof mounting 40 stand offs for a solar panel array.

Went to Dennis a little before 7:00am. Hit it hard for the next 4 hours before the wind backed off. Great session, great times!

I was wondering the same thing about west dennis. do they lock a gate at night and if so until what time? if they do can you park close and still sail (like at kalmus when the gate is locked)? i wanted to go there thursday morning for something different but wasn't sure and since the kalmus gate wasn't locked it made it easy to just stay there. full power!!!

I also arrived at Kalmus before 9 AM and was surprised to find the gate open. Shortly before 9 AM the gate attendant arrived, closed the gate and opened the gate again at 9:00. Thus, I assume someone forgot to close the gate the previous evening.

The strongest wind at Kalmus arrived after 9 AM and made for one of the best sailing sessions of the season.
