Could the drought be over?

I think everyone on the East Coast has started to loose it. If you don't own a SUP board there wasn't much reason to make it out on the water this weekend. Even the lucky sailors who were able to find breeze were out on 6.5+ sails. Well step back from the ledge there is hope and the first sign of wind on the horizon.


I am heading to Hatteras Friday night and it looks like I might have to pack some wet gear.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  Hopefully all of the hot air we create from talking about the wind doesn't kill it.  So keep your fingers crossed, do a wind dance or whatever it is you do to get psyched and turn 15 knots into 20.  I know the Peconic crew will do their part (picture from Peconic Puffin).

Time to reflect during a break in the wind

It has been a great year so far. When the wind doesn't blow you realize how precious great days are when they come. While there have been some epic days so far this year the wind seemed to drop off once I started using the camera. As a result I was reluctant to use it a couple times when I was dialed in. Here are some shots I got before the wind died:
Day 1 I was on a 5.0-100L and Day 2 4.5-85L

Here is to no longer wearing gloves or a hood.  I can't wait to be in Cape Hatteras in a week to Windsurf, SUP and even try some kiteboarding.

For now the wind looks dead all over the east coast for the most part and the forecast doesn't look much better.  That said, the last awesome day I had the forecast wasn't good.  Hopefully this weekend shapes up there are tons of fronts heading for the northeast as we speak.
