<br />I checked the weather for the next 10 days and the wind and temp is supposed to be,

WED SW 16, Temp 66
THURSDAY SW 20 Temp 73
FRI SW 18 temp 70,
SAT W 18 temp 55
SUN W 7 temp 54,
MON S 10 temp 63,

That means the water will come up and I can get out of the canal and go SAILING. And test the new 135 with roller furling.
Almost like summer.

Well, the weatherman was not exactly correct.
Wednesday..Water came up almost enough
Thursday.. No wind...Went striper fishing (6 total about 4 lb each)
Friday wind 30 gusting to 60
Here is the national forecast for the next few days.

TODAY
W WINDS 25 TO 30 KT. WAVES 2 TO 4 FT.

SUN
N WINDS 10 TO 15 KT...BECOMING NE 5 TO 10 KT IN THE
AFTERNOON. WAVES 1 TO 2 FT IN THE MORNING...THEN 1 FT.

MON
SW WINDS 5 KT. WAVES 1 FT.

TUE
NE WINDS 5 TO 10 KT...BECOMING SE. WAVES 1 FT. A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS THROUGH THE NIGHT.

WED
S WINDS 15 TO 20 KT...BECOMING SW 20 TO 25 KT. WAVES 2 TO
3 FT. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

Looks like Wednesday is a good bet to see how the 135 works furled in some.

I finally got high water and very little wind.
The new furling 135 works great.
Very light wind and 6 knots at 1 time. Mostly 4-5 knots.

Flip up rudder works great. You have to put the tiller between your legs and give it a very hard pull then relax the pull when it is nearly up.

I had to duck back in due to a severe thunderstorm.

Overall I am very pleased.
