10/13 Antelope Island 20m W

[lesvierra]

Not quite enough for a good time, but enough to keep me and my kite out of the water during side/down winders. Lots of walking, less kiting. Nice to get out and test the dry suit. I sweated my ass off. Nice warm showers afterward. Im looking foward to a good wind day at AI sometime.

The meter takes 2 hours to get a reading,
pretty hard to tell what is actually going on out there.
the 7:00am reading is what I saw at 9:00

What time did you get there?

Sorry I had to bail on you at the last second.
(plumbing issue)

Maybe Pineview will give it up today.....
Seems like the shorter days start to effect things for the worse, at PV.

I arrived at 11:30. Got lost on the Antelope road detour and waisted 30minutes.

Bummer. I plan to check it out today.

Would this Antelope Island launch be good for windsurfing?

[lesvierra]

Rick, I've never windsurfed. I would think it would be ok for windsurfing. It'd be like windsurfing at bear lake in the sense that you have to walk out a ways to clear your fin. Also, you'd have to watch for shallow areas. There is "Bird Island" (I think that is what Marty called it), it is out a ways. With recending waters, I think there is a land bridge to there now, so who knows where else it get shallow?? Oh yeah, you'd have to walk you gear out along ways to even get to the water. Sounds like a bunch of work.
