If you haven't already this year, it's time to go sailing! Who's in? Ron? SW and mid-morning low tide.

Now that Iwindsurf sensor is operating at Kalmus again -- now using solar power -- I will watch the wind and plan to sail near low tide if the wind is up. Low tide is at 10:54 AM.

Intellicast predicts temp up to about 45F with sun and SW wind up to 21 mph at noon. Windguru predicts similar winds.

Hope to see at least some windsurfers.

NANTUCKET SOUND-
357 AM EST SAT MAR 12 2011

...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

.TODAY...W WINDS 10 TO 15 KT...BECOMING SW 15 TO 20 KT LATE THIS
MORNING AND AFTERNOON. GUSTS UP TO 30 KT.

It looks good - Noting that I can't swim, low tide in late morning is appealing - Still no word on if permission will be granted

I gonna get a new handle - DRIVER B

yesterday and last night: School pickup, sailing team practice, piano lesson, indoor soccer, rock night skating, High School Rock the Mike / Battle of the Bands

RC at 6am

OK. We're packed up and ready to roll. Looks like we'll have a small group of core sailors. Jerry, sorry you can't make it. Ron, just do it. You can be Driver B. Graham is Driver G (since he got his permit yesterday).

I know you have your hands full Jeff. Today, getting away from the family was not an option.

However, I did take a quick trip to Skaket to "check-it-out". A guy from Oregon was maxed out on a small kite riding a plain-old skim board. No straps and no fins. I can see a lot of appeal for riding the barely covered flats with that kind of setup.

Another day, RC
