The fishing & hunting water priviliged acces does not officially permit sailboarding since 2005 so thats it, permanently closed. From my understanding there was a complaint by a boater one week ago concerning dificult access. From what I saw last Sunday the complaint that day came from the person responsble for the grass cutting. By the time the patrol came in there was not a single boater on site but all 40 windsurfers had to leave...no tolerance. The managing patroler was just short of being a real asshole, the 2 standard patrolman where OK. I asked if there was an issue with garbage or whatever....no ! I will say from a Canadian point of view that altough totally in their right this was complete administrative bullshit as there was not areal problem ( a warden told me so) just total intolerance to Canadians and a real power trip by the warden. May Vermonters live long and propsper...and by themselves...I aint going back. Serge

What is going on with the Afternoon Sessions?

I have sailed Lake Champlain for more than 15 years and I've never seen the wind blow in the afternoon as much as it has in the last few south wind forecasts. It usually dies at lunch. I have to re-think my min. wind speed and time of day to leave to sail.

5.4 Summer Afternoon Session (8-4-09)

White Beach Graph from 8-4-09.
I think the meter off on direction and maybe a little low for wind speed. There was not any north wind all afternoon and I was on a 5.4 with an 85ltr board, pretty powered up later in the day. I'll post the Plattsburg Graph below. Anyone sail over there? seems to be winder than White's.
