Labor Day Weekend...?

[paulb32]

As of 9:30 tonight bouy data located between Racine & New Buffalo says 7.9 to 8.5 ft wave height and 6 second dwell. Go to Noaa.gov and search for "bouy data" then zoomin on map & highlight the bouy. select "details" then you'll see the last many hours at 15 min intervals.
Yup we'll see ya Monday at EC.
Redhotsommer-going to Mi will put you in the brunt of the wind. Same bouy above is 35 kt max wind but New Buffalo says 40+ knott wind.
Doin the math on 6 sec dwell, let see , means a 42 ft boat will go wave to wave at 63.4 mph-That's like perfect for a 42 fountain with 525's!
(j/k have no idea)

Damn Paul...you must be some kinda mathamagician!

We will probably launch at EC on Monday...or, if we get sick of my family in MI, probably put in at Hammond on Sunday evening and party with T dock, then boat on Monday.
