5/24 DCIB 6.0/6.6

[JimSouthwick]

Apparently the motorheads still haven't figured out about wetsuits (PLEASE don't clue them in!!). Or maybe gas prices really are starting to change behavior. How else to explain the deserted state of IB on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend? A couple of fishing boats (one fisherman left his truck on the beach and got ticketed) but no PWCs or water weenies (and definitely no parking problems!) Nothing to mess up a small but clean swell generated by wind that averaged a bit over 16mph over the course of the afternoon with frequent excursions into the mid twenties and a peak of 33. Reasonably steady by DC standards and not all that cold; water is a touch under 56 now and air was a tad over 60 by the end of the session (about 4). Shared the lake with Angie and Paul, who was a bit under powered on a 6.7 but still smoked me.

Hey Billy,

Golf's for geezers like me, not flying squirrels!

[Carl Christensen]

yeah, that looked like it was going to be good.
debris sightings? water levels coming up?

[JimSouthwick]

No debris sightings this time. Hit something the previous session, but I think it was one of the big DC carp; there were fish breaching everywhere; they must somehow sense that there aren't any fishermen around. Lake level is pretty much unchanged.
