3 Reasons to make the trip to Plattsburgh

1) The fetch is long. All the way from the broad lake into Plattsburgh Bay creates great swell.
2) The number of great sailors ups your game.
3) The wind swell breaking over the front of the ferry will have you so pumped up you will feel sick to your stomach.

3.5 day at White's Beach

Great day at White’s beach yesterday 5-14-09. 4.2 sail w/ 85l board to start off and then things got interesting pretty quickly. I ended up on my 3.5 Ezzy and 78l Maui project.

I’ve been sailing White’s since 1998 and this day had the biggest swell I have seen there.

It was great sailing with the regular crew (Steve, Singe, Justin, Connor and a good sailor from St. Johnsbury). It still amazes me that no one from Burlington was there. Tim made the trek to Plattsburgh and had a great time, but was a little concerned about getting hurt. I think the wind may have been a little stronger and the shore break a lot tougher to get through.

As you can see from the graph, it was gusty but it was a great way to kick off the season.

And for anyone who didn’t sail because of the water temperature, we checked it at the beach and it was 53 degrees. I was hot.

White's Beach Meter update

White's beach meter is up and running. Just in time for sailing season.
Thanks Iwindsurf for repairing the cable.
I wounder how many hits this meter gets on a windy day? If I have to work, I'll refresh it every 10 minutes. 60 min./10 = 6 times an hour x 6 hours = 36 hits just from myself.
