It looks like we may get some wind this weekend, fingers tightly crossed. Most of you are still out enjoying the winds today. Myself I got stuck at work and now quick catch up on my WV duties.
Myself: Saturday; I will be at Elwood for the ESC RPS WV One Hour Race and BBQ from about 1pm till late. Sunday; I will be down at Sorrento to help with the first of the Windsurfer One Design Nationals registration. I would love to be at Sandy Point when the first of the roaming wave events will be on.
