[quote=Edchris177]Or like yesterday & today. It's Thanksgiving here in Canada this weekend. Between chores & family, the wife says, "pick the best day & reserve it for sailing".
That would be yesterday. Warm, forecast for 30 kts, (gale warnings for Lake Huron), as the edge of hurricane Nate works northward. The perfect day to take the little Girly Cat out for a spin.
Turned into nothing more than 7or 8 kts, took the stinkpot & some refreshments out for a few hours cruise. Only saw a couple of the boats, the entire bay/beach at Chiefs had one other boat hanging on a lunch hook. Towards sunset there were crests just starting on a few waves. Drinks on the dock.
Today we endured brilliant sunshine, & shi**y traffic driving to my brothers at Niagara Falls for Thanksgiving dinner. The pool was almost 90, tapped a new keg of craft beer in the Kegerator, & the damn wind was at 34kts gusting to 38kts most of the day, waves at .9 metres,(3').
At 5pm it suddenly dropped to 2kts, gusting to 4, & that is the forecast for all of tomorrow.
A new keg dulls the injustice, but just barely.[/quote]
