Surprise session, with a forecast of 5-15 from the north I didn't expect much. I didn't see anything happening until 2 o'clock . That's when I got a wind alert from SCS Harbor saying the wind cracked 15 mph from the northeast - perfect, so I thought. First off, I got a 2:30 dental appointment to finish off.
Got done with that and by 3:15 I was walking to the Milner launch about 100 yards out on the lake. Rigged the 11M and launched at 3:54. Good winds until about 5:15, that's when Craig the wind killer arrived.
