Yeah, life always gets in the way. Pretty awesome that you can help out your parents; mine are >5 hours away, not much I can reasonably do these days.
My normal spot on Ontario is Durand Eastman which needs a bit of N in the wind to not be too gusty; should try something further east sometime!
I’ve got a friend interested in trying things out;…[Read more]

Doug, adding pictures is REALLY frustrating. I’ve tried twice now, and the forum keeps eating my post. š

Missed out on the fun on Saturday, was just too busy, but did head down to Canandaigua today armed with a 9.5m sail and a 170L Go. Seemed perfect for the 10-15 knot winds we had in the early afternoon. Also put together a short video clip; gybes are surprisingly hard with the giant sail!

Windier weather is definitely on it’s way! Anyone have plans to head out for some sailing this holiday weekend?

Hey John, welcome to the site! What setup did you pick up?
Despite the relatively slow activity around here, the windsurfing scene in the area is usually pretty active (in my opinion at least!)
I’m typically sailing out of either Durand with any winds from the north, or Canandaigua with a south wind. Hope to see you out there someday!
Mark

Heck, if they’re gonna get tossed I think I can find a good home for them with my parents to replace an old tie-on style Mistral boom. What’s the adjustment length of each?

While it was a pretty warm fall and slow start to the winter, I havenāt been out in the water since mid November because itās just too cold! Really looking forward to when it warms up, but I know the air will do so long before the water does…Ā Whatāre your favorite boots/gloves/etc to stay warm in the late fall and early spring? Or even in the wi…[Read more]

That makes me thankful for our relative lack of “traffic” and congestion!

Mostly a test post, since last time I tried this, I uploaded pics and that didn’t seem to work. This time I’m linking to a video I took on Monday, launching from the north end of Candandaigua, and cruising along for as long as my COLD arms and hands would hold out for!

Looks fun! Was that today?
I was all ready to go with gear in the car, but ended up being too busy, and the thunderstorm that came though (with hail!!) messed up my plans further…

Doug,
Thanks for digging into it. I primarily browse on my phone, Iāll check on the desktop to see if thereās something simple Iām overlooking. Hopefully will be able to copy and paste the text of the old post!
By the way, Wednesday looks like itās shaping up to be a decent west wind, you guys have plans to get out? Iāll most likely do my best t…[Read more]

Geoff, sounds like a fun time! I was out hiking with the family (Green Lake this time) on Saturday, and saw the trees swaying around on the drive home and hoped some of you were tearing about!
I managed to get out to the north end of Canandaigua this afternoon just as the 15+ turned into 5-10 but sill had a good time tooling about with the GPS…[Read more]
