This weekend looks bad with east winds and rain on Sunday so we'll go with our backup date.

See you May 6, 7th rain or shine! :smile:

Hope you have a dome over your pond!

See you and Ty next weekend! :buttrock:

He's a got a strong P mono to run through the lights. Q mono is good too now that I think about it.

You made the right call on postponing. Weather is spiraling down the tubes. 70% chance of T storms. Oh goody. We'll need water wings in the pits for our race.

Here's a couple sites we look at (Z time is 4 hrs ahead):

It just gives me another week to procrastinate!

90% chance of T storms Sunday. Well at least it will be windy to make up for it. Ugh. The wind will dry out my power supply right?

Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do the day after!

Ya, Sunday looks ugly, you guys might wanna re-schedule...

[longballlumber]

I wonder how messy the site is going to be after all of this constant rain. 18-15mph winds out of N and NW... Ugh!

[Terry Keeley]

Wasn't too bad here today, stopped raining in the morning but the wind was too strong to much course work so we'll work on the buoys tomorrow morning. Wind is supposed to settled down and swing to the west (behind us) tomorrow afternoon. Sunday looks like the better day of the two. :Peace_Sign:

Sorry for not reporting earlier but I'm at Bob Morton's event in PA trying to catch some good water.

Our event was a complete blow out, watched the water (white caps) all weekend...
