Strong winds on Lake Ontario Sept 24 and 25

Here is a video from last Friday with winds from the SW at 25-35 knots (4.2 sail) and also on Saturday with winds from the West at 20-25 knots (5.0 and 5.6 sails). On the second part of the clip you might see Cliff and John.

Long Beach Sept 7 and LaSalle Sept 6

Was at Long Beach today with quite a crew. Had to leave at around 1500. For some reasons, the wind was picking up when I left. I did not see any pics on John's web site yet so do not know how the day ended.

For those who were thinking that they should have gone to LaSalle--maybe. Got there around 1700 with very gusty, off-shore winds that were fading fast.

Here is a clip, of Dillon, son of windyyet, at Club LaSalle yesterday. He looks great doesn't he on his 2.9 (thanks Gene and Sharryn)! At that time winds were off shore at about 10-15 knots close to shore and about 15-20 knots further out. I was out on a 6.7 for a little while.

LaSalle, A day later...

It was another great day of windsurfing at Club LaSalle with winds from the West and South-West at 20-25 knots, mind you with some big lulls. Denny, Dirk, Cesar, Cliff, Rob and Bob were in attendance. A wide range of sail sizes were used today from 5.6 to 9.0 with a chilly start of the day to a beautiful sunny and warm late afternoon. Here is a clip (not HD due to the 1 HD video limit of Vimeo):

Windy day at Club LaSalle

Fantastic day, with winds from the West-South West at 25-35 knots. Henry, Angelo, Cesar, Dirk, Rob, and Bob were there and Cliff arrived a bit later. 3.8-4.2 kinda day!
