My boat is in the water, tuned and pulling on the spring lines. Now if I only had a Catalina 22 Main with a double reef...

Wichita is a very windy place, Nationals will be a hoot this year. Several months ago we had a horrible ice storm. All of the money has now been added up and it was the most expensive natural disaster in the recorded history of the state; and we are in the middle of tornado alley. The cost was split between repairing the power grid and tree damage. The tops are gone off a huge number of our tree, only the branches that had grown down survived. Today in this wind none of the trees outside my windows are moving, only the very large branches are left. All the small leafy limbs are blowing like crazy but no swaying. It looks very weird, like giant hedges instead of trees.

Looks like a perfect "balls to the wall" sailing weekend!
No lazy cruising here!

Winds today 20mph gusting to 30 WNW.
Tomorrow they'll be 10 to 20 NNW.

Was going over tomorrow to clean on the boat but
its suppose to be around 60, probably colder
on the water...

Nah, I think I'll go sailing!

Thanks for the new site. I just get Rock Hall Maryland and the information is great. I'll use this site a lot in planning my trips.

We had to babysit our boats all weekend long up here in NE Indiana. 3 to 4 foot waves with sustained winds of 43 and gusts up to 55. Some piers did not survive. But thank God, our BOATS DID!

Frank, do you have a pair of these on your boat.
I kind of thought every Kansas sailor would be equiped with a pair of get me home ruby red shoes for when those really big winds
happen along.
