Misery (Saturday’s forecast has turned to mush)

Just a day ago, the Saturday forecast called for 20 from the east…with rain!   That spells wavesailing at the bowl, homeslice!   Peconic Jeff texted me with the same thought.  There's nothing like a bowlful of Bowl to set me right.   But this morning the call is 5 from the east.  Five.  What the heck…in February it blows 5 indoors!    Argh.

I'd text P-Jeff my misery, but the spell-fix thingy on my iPhone will not let me type "skunked".

Jeff, we've been skinned again.

As Scott would say, "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".

    Yes Bonnie, it does work out for you. I’d propose a Saturday blowing 25 and a Sunday with “winds variable, less than 5 knots”.
    The Wolf caught some SUPsurfing earlier this week, so he’s ahead of the game.
