Re: Alameda 16 kts in September
I know! Right?!
Wish I'd been out there, just drooling at station readings.

Sold all my gear; ebbs and flows; see you next season.

Re: Alameda 16 kts in September
I know, was working in Alameda today and felt the old familiar pattern stirring - kiting wasn't an option today, but I remembered the days from years ago of having gear in the truck and being ready to go at the slightest sign. I even checked wind in the afternoon and saw 16 which is a great number at Alameda, good wind...

I thought about Alameda but opted for the Toll Plaza. Awesome day--I was powered up on my 9m. You know it's good when you finally have to stop because you're tired, not because the wind died.

Re: Alameda 16 kts in September
I was looking at Berkeley readings and thinking about how amazing TP must have been! I wonder if you get any better view of the area from the new Bay Bridge span?nick_80044 wrote:I thought about Alameda but opted for the Toll Plaza. Awesome day--I was powered up on my 9m.

Already in the high teens and gusting into 20s at Alameda. Maybe the new bay bridge opened some kind of intergalactic wind portal.
