Long Beach, August 24 2011

Sorry for the lack of posting here; missed a few days. Anyway, awesome day on Lake Erie, with strong south westerly winds at 20-27 knots. Was on 4.5 with my 86L Syncro. Got some good footage today; better yet, got most of my jibes. This all came at a cost with a nice crash at the end. Great day!

LaSalle July 26 2011

Arrived at LaSalle Tuesday, tons of whitecaps but wind was on-shore. Once out it was really nice on a 6.7 sailing sideshore with a bunch of kiters. Good day! Here is vid with a clip of Long Beach from last Thursday

late day south westerlies

The wind came up (as predicted - surprise) around 1630. Adrian, Dillon and the guy from Hamilton (sorry forgot your name) were there. All were on 6.2 to 6.7. Nice way to end the weekend.

Pleasant surprise at LaSalle today

Wow, 20-25 SW winds today at LaSalle. Fairly steady early on and turned really gusty around 1630. 6.2 early on. Was really nice being there with Dillon, Denny and Bob.

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.
