Bill, It blew 15 with occasional gusts to maybe 20. Nothing like today. Today it's forecast to blow 20-30 sustained with gusts over 35 this afternoon. Looks like a correct forecast as it's Howling out there. Bosun did great the other day being that it was just him and me and no "mamma" to show him where to sit so he was out of the way. We had a reefed main and about a blade jib that I have . He finds his way to the low side of the cockpit, lays down on the seat a leans against the cockpit side. Yes, he is wearing a life jacket and he is tethered to a pad-eye on the cockpit floor so he can't dump overboard....that would not be a good thing in that kind of wind sailing single-handed....or in any kind of wind for that matter! hahaha Sounds like you guys had fun too! Not sure if we'll get out today or not but if we do it looks like double reefed and storm jib right now! It's already consistently gusting over 20 and forecast to increase as the afternoon goes on. And..this wind gauge located at Site 6 on the island is usually a little low in north wind speeds as it is on the south side of the island. The wind has to jump up over the land and cross the island to get to it. it is usually blowing anywhere from 5-10mph harder than this gauge indicates in the North Basin of the lake. Forecast from NWS: ...LAKE WIND ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM PDT /3 PM MST/ THIS AFTERNOON... THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM PDT /3 PM MST/ THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE LAKE MEAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA AND THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY TO LAKE HAVASU. * WINDS: NORTH WINDS SUSTAINED AT 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 35 MPH.
