Strongs winds this week (updated)

Very strong winds today (Wednesday 27th) on Lake Ontario with super warm weather (above 20!). Adrian and I were out on 5.0 and 5.6 (overpowered at the end!). I will try to put a clip later on. Looks promising for the next 4 days (west and north west) but colder. Can't have it all.

Update: Thursday was super nice too with winds from the West and 5.0 sail. Only a kiter and myself were out. Saturday was awesome with winds from the WSW at 25-30 knots, 4.5-5.0 sails, and warm weather. Only 1 hour on the water but well worth it!

Side Road 26, October 20 2010

Super windy day on Lake Erie (4.0-5.0). The conservation area is now closed so we went to Side Road 26 (just East of the entrance I guess), although we were told my maintenance staff that if the gates are open we can still go in as long as we are out by 3pm. Marty, Ke, Cliff, Henry and other kiters were there.

Looks like this week will be a warm and windy one.

Still some warm winds at Long Beach

We were treated really well last Friday on Lake Erie with some WSW winds at 25 knots. Hopefully we will get more of this stuff but for now here is a clip with Ke, John and Cliff. Some of these guys are leaving for NC in a week or so. Let's wish them good winds. For the rest staying up North, we will follow their adventures on John's website if we are not on the water.

October 3 at Neil's house

It is beginning to look like fall with rain and colder winds. The water is still pretty warm however. Cliff and I launched at Neil's house after a cup of coffee. It was a good couple of hours on the water on 6.0/6.2 sails. We did an up-wind to Port Dalhousie which was a lot of fun.

Looks like tomorrow (Wednesday 6th) will also be good. Thinking of going to Lakeshore near NOTL.
