Looks like the wind will have some West in it, for the first time in months, on Thursday.
This easterly crap has been blowing for ages

I can still open the house in early morings but usually by 10:00-10:30 the heat/humidity are high enough we close up and turn on the a/c. Well, we don't actually turn it off...

Ha ha, April is probably one of the best months weather wise, in Florida, followed by November. It's supposed to get hot and humid by Thursday-Friday though, so I'm going to sail my butt off today and tomorrow.

The cold snap 2 weeks ago brought the gulf temps back to the low 60's. If i hadn't purchased

dry

bibs this past x-mas, my sailing would have been greatly diminished this year.

Gulf temps are back up 10* in 2 weeks.

Winter is finally over!!!!!!!!!

Just a little impression of today: 40 knots cross-onshore.

It's good to be back, sailing with 20 kts speed between high waves. I love the northsea...........

Spring have arrived in Norway. +10degC and we sailed yesterday in great winds!

According to scientists, global warming is the culprit behind the late spring. A giant high pressure system is blocking the usual weather patterns in the higher latitudes pushing air from the pole southwards.

Perhaps this is another year with no summer, like last year.

We had our first F18 Class Event last weekend, on the first day it was very windy (25kts+), chilly (8c) but very sunny as well.
Unfortunately we had to stop after the 1st race because of a broker crossbar <img src="<>/frown.gif" alt="frown" title="frown" height="15" width="15" />
Second day very little wind (5-10kts) but still doable.

Cool spinpole video from one of the crews, maybe we need helmets too?

Weather looks brilliant!

Whats up with the water? It should be blue <img src="<>/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" height="15" width="15" /> I suppose the name of the place, Muiderzand, gives the answer..

Poor guys in NED488. Proper dive and Peter Pan move <img src="<>/laugh.gif" alt="laugh" title="laugh" height="15" width="15" />
