To Doubt Saturday's Forecast is to be Like Hulse

"What are you, Hulse?" Scott asked when I pointed out on Wednesday that the forecast for wind on Saturday might change.

I am not Hulse.   I haven't been confused with Hulse since 1996...we were at a party in Great Neck and we were wearing the same dress...wait no that's not the story.

I am not Hulse, but I do believe forecasts change.   I am used to disappointment.  I am a windsufferer.

Still, the GoPro is charging and the van is prepped.

Let me be more like Scott.  GEEEV EEEET TO MEEE!

(forecast at press time:  NNW 25.  Hum baby.)

We Getting Something Sunday?

iWindsurf's computer model seems to think so.  Northeast.   Please make it so!

 

 

Great Summer Wind

 "I can't remember the last time we had such great summer wind" texted Chimply Lord Scotworth to the crew.   The Earl of Kielt has been getting it big and regular at South Jamesport, and I finally managed to tag along with him and the Wolf.   What can you say about 81 degrees air and 4.7 conditions (gusting to 4.2)?  You can say more!  Flat enough water for speed runs, the occasional ramp to get goofy with.   The natives were friendly, and Scott claims to have found a rare bit of Long Islandia:  A sign that says Free Parking.   I didn't see it.   Great day!

(Scott buzzes me after a jibe, as is his wont.)
