West winds at LaSalle today

Met Cliff at 9 this morning. Great session on 6.2 with winds from 20 to 25 knots from the west. John, Denny and Caesar were there. It slowed down around 1130 and then cam back up. We were all on the water until about 2pm. We saw Marty and his injured foot; hope the x-ray gave you some good news. Will put a short clip later on.

Windy last Friday (24th) and very windy today (28th)!

Wow!

A great few days. Friday, we were at Long Beach. Started slow on 7.5 but increased until we were able to go down to our 6.2s. Here is a vid of that day with John, Chris, Marty and Cliff:

Today was awesome also at Long Beach. 2 hours on my 6.2, half an hour on the 5.6 and then had to leave. John has some pics and Marty was heading to the water with the go pro on the lid so check their sites. Might check Lasalle later and put another vid.

Lakeshore Conservation Area, Sunday June 19, 2011 (Day 11)

Finally some wind on Lake Ontario. Some ENE at 15-20 knots near Niagara-on-the-Lake (Lakeshore Conservation Area). Was with Dirk, both of us on 7.5s and overpowered at the end.

On the last run towards shore you see on my left the mouth of the Niagara River with Niagara-on-the-Lake on the West side and the US Coast Guard Niagara Station on the other side. On my right you would see the tip of the Welland Canal. A Canadian Coast Guard Station is located there.
