The winds haven't really started coming up yet but the local weather is forcasting conditions similar to yesterday. Tammy and I will probably head out to the boat ramp between noon and 1:00 today. We may have to move on up to the high water launch by coles creek if there is too much northerly in the wind direction. Won't know until we get there.
I will probably not go today. I was lucky the wind picked up to 4.8 windsurf conditions Monday. My largest sail is the 4.8, and I don't think it will get that windy again today. With the lake level so high, self launching a kite is pretty much out, and Dan and Tammy may windsurf a different location than what is best for kiting.
I am curious where the kiters launched at Coles Creek Monday. Dam East was definitely a better place to launch Monday.

I talked to Ken (One of the kiters who launched from Coles Creek) yesterday. They said they launched from the south rocks (Same place Rich and Matt launched from). He did say it was a bit tricky, but it sounded like they had a good day.
I won't be able to make Carlyle (or CC lake for that matter). I'll be on afternoon kid duty.

Wind is finally coming up. I saw an SUV on old 50 heading towards Carlyle this morning with a windsurfing board I had never seen before. Maybe we will meet some new sailors today. Tammy and I will be heading out to the lake in a few minutes, hope to see you there.

Looked like a nice day, sorry I missed it. Please give the painful details.
