4 A MOMENT- I WAS WORRIED TODAY

[WAHOONBOX]

WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND IT WASN'T BLOWING AS HARD AS PREDICTED....I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RUN-OFF WAS NO WHERE TO BE SEEN......

THEN BY 11 A.M. I BREATHED A SIGH OF RELIEF...

SHE WAS BACK TO HONKIN' AGIN...25-30 PLUS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST.....

FOR A MINUTE...JUST FOR A MINUTE ...I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE NICE TODAY.....I WOULDN'T WANT IT TO NOT BLOW! SO BLOW BLOW BLOW!!!

HOPE THE RUNOFF GOT EM.....AT LEAST IT WAS ON THE BLACK STERN ON THE RETURN.

All the times I've been past that bouy I ain't never seen dew on it---- not once.
When was it Big Dog?---- one summer there was something like 50 days straight and it never blew over 10kts?--- hotter than hell itself.
Heck, we wouldn't know what to do if there were 5 days straight there wasn't a SCA this year.

ur not jokin, this wind is unreal. was out in the yak in a channel yesterday having fun 2-4'ers ...always fun to play in with the kayak


Now, if the wind would every so kindly lay down, id launch from the surf and get on some cobes, but mother nature must have been missing some SW wind, because she is hangin on tight to it right now.
