a 50 to 100 miles is a lot of fetch and can cause significant variation in wind speed.


Obama cut their budget so their new super computers are no longer available or forecasts.

I use sailflow and buoyweather 2 day free forecast to judge whether to go or not. Looks a little sporty ride out and laydown in the afternoon worse case. Vice versa on Sat

Considering my diet, that is what i am worried about leaving tomorrow night at midnight and coming back 8PM saturday. Heading out on the Yankee Capts, should i be worried as i am an easy chummer.
