Brucie, you're one to talk. You set the gold standard for pontificating about your fruitcake whimsy du jour on these forums.
As for Boston wind, it's strongest when you pontificate the most.

I applied this "Pontification approach" to this session in Buzz Bay (Little Harbor) yesterday between 2-5pm. I pontificated every single second on the water and got really juiced up on a 6.8 in ~20mph average... Teeth grinding of a mix of fear & ultimate pleasure - GPS clocked 28.7mph in top speed... I am now pontificating my board, rig and the 2-3 hours of wind kindly offered yesterday... After today's good forecast as well... cannot seem to see the next window of wind around Boston... Keep sailing, O. |

orcovez, I, too, sailed yesterday afternoon. The wind tailed off with the sunset, though. It's good to see another pontiff posting about it. I think I might be stuck, now, however, as the mast I was using with my 9.6 broke. Let's pray that the pontificating winds have returned. |

Brucie, if you're there, then the pontification winds are there.
Right now, those winds are pontificating at 19 Glory Lane. |

This has definitely been the worst summer of sailing for me since I can remember. Every time I get a few days to windsurf there is just no wind. Was even up in Maine off of Deer Isle and for a week there was never enough wind to even justify rigging up. Rented a sailboat one day and got skunked out there for over an hour. Though I can say that the water up there was warmer than I remember and you could probably get away with a shortie during August .... if there was ever any wind! |

DC | Summer lasts for another three weeks. However, it would be great if the wind gods bless those who have slogged along with some rewards for their patience. |

Therefore, you will remain among the unblessed.
And deservedly so. |
