8AM update Well the ships at anchor are pointed the right direction and there is some light wind, but not enough to kite. I will keep an eye on it but not hopeful. Squamsih will be a sure bet today.
Squamish might take a bit to get going today. Lots of low cloud in the valley, it's showing on the radar. Although E.C. is calling for 10-20 inflow. Lillooet is already warmer than the city. My guess is wind at 1:30. There is a big low just n.w. of the Queen charlottes. Its going to blow at Jericho but not strong till later this evening Man I wish I could kite right now
ERR I meant 11:30 and J.M. since when does cloud in whistler valley bring wind Most people don't kite on outflows you know and what’s with this hopefully crap We want the J.M. wind contract that guarantees wind.
Well the Wednesday graph looks pretty good from 12 to 2 PM. Was it very bad after that? Sometimes the gusts on the water are not as bad as what the wind sensor picks up, like when a ship is in port and blocking the sensor.
Probably one of the best 2 or 3 Squamish days I've had this summer for strong winds that lasted all day - great day ! Glad we took the chance and headed up (had to since it was Dan's last day before his big adventure to Brazil)
I'm not sure why but the graph doesn't so it justice.
Thanks for the update and tell Dan to have a safe and awesome trip. I want to see him landing those L 3's when he gets back and I have to admit I'm quite jealous.
