Five of us got to the pond expecting nine MPH with gusts to fifteen but what we got was some of the spottiest wind all season. If you missed the little pocket of wind (and I use the term loosely ), you could be sitting in dead air as the lucky ones rounded the nextContinue reading “VM 10/31/2026”

Although four intrepid skippers showed up, the event was cancelled due to absolutely no wind except one gust of about 3 knots lasting about twelve seconds during the more than two hours we hung around.!
