      Summer doldrums time. Best wind was probably the last 3 afternoons, mostly was W. Decent S-SW on Wednesday before the front hit…presumably somebody got some time in before the rain came (not me).

      Oh, I forgot, this is a forecast

      Saturday: Not showing much anywhere, though the NWS graphical fx suggests the FLX will get NW-erlies in the mid-teens, though background wind is supposed to be only 8-ish. This is the only graphical forecast that provides “local knowledge” in agreement with my experience, of how the wind direction over the water affects conditions. The FLX boating fx agrees (probably from the same model). If it comes off, best spots will be Myers / Taughannock Falls (Cayuga) and Lodi Point / Watkins (Seneca). Last week it wasn’t enough, perhaps this time it’ll go off.

      N.B.: I helped Kevin get launched on his 12 at T-Falls last Saturday (didn’t last), so it is possible to kite there but the launch and landing is dicey with trees, picnic tables and barbecue grills in harm’s way.

      Sunday: Nothing doing anywhere in RWS domain. Possible PM thermals is the best one can hope for.
