All moved in?
Cape looks better, but I have a feeling it'll warm up and be windier than they predict up here too.
My bet is Soundside on the cape. Wana drive down there?

I got a sweeet black Scion zip outside my door if ya wanna roll in style 
Yeah, we can totally try Dux first... not far from highway. SW is good there... West is annoyingly gusty.
Anyone feel like MV for a few hours? Maybe Brock is around?

I might be heading down. I would be interested in going somewhere on the Cape. I have a car. My dog rides as well though. There is space for another.
I just need to source a new wetsuit. Unless my 3/2 will suffice on the Cape.
Funny I just saw Jeremy's post below. I have a sweet Blackcherry Scion...

a few...
sailworld (bourne)- 508-759-6559
islandsea (west dennis)- 508-398-1333
levitate (marshfield) - 781-834-2755
Nor'easter (scitiuate)- 781-544-9283
Wilderness house on Comm will be the most expensive, but very nice and helpful.
Definitely try one on first.

Ahhhhh the plot thickens
Ahhhhh the plot thickens
Maybe PBay is best then. Duxbury looks worse off than PB but who knows.
But I would still be down with WD or something on the sound side if anyone wants to drive.

Looks way too west for PBay.
Looks way too west for PBay. It doesn't really look like it's going to even get going till 2 or 3 so I think we'll be OK. Is Dux really that gusty in a West? Would Dog beach be better? I don't think I'm up for driving all the way to the Cape really...

Wind looks like crap
Wind looks like crap everywhere. Except there is this little warning that states big gusts...
iKite says:
the national weather service in taunton has issued a fire weather
watch...which is in effect from friday morning through friday
afternoon.
this watch covers all of massachusetts except for the
berkshires...cape cod...marthas vineyard and nantucket. the watch
covers all of rhode island except for block island. the watch covers
hartford...tolland...and windham counties in north central and
northeast connecticut. the watch also covers cheshire and
hillsborough counties in southern new hampshire.
there is a potential on friday for low relative humidity...15 to 25
percent...and west to southwest wind gusts of 25 to 30 mph. the
combination of this with recently dry weather would increase the risk
of fire growth and associated dangers.

Certainly gusty but I think
Certainly gusty but I think it should sustain enough to have a good time. Direction is mostly West. Who's up for giving it a shot? I mean, it's going to be high 60s - if nothing else we'll pickup a case on the way to ensure we have a good time either way.

I'm in!
I'm up and can start drinking whenever 
btw, I'm not worried about the gusts... more that it was weird that they were that strong in that particular report, and that the base was so low... made me feel like the base was gonna be off and we'd have more wind.
I could use a base tan.
Peace!

it was ok.
It started to get a little windy and Shane & I tried to give it a go. Got some good runs in with my skim... but we were in a pretty sketchy spot at first trying to tack between trees and powerlines trying to get upwind. I finally moved to an open area. I think we got some good photos. If anything, I got a good buzz on. And a sunburn.
Think Duxbury would be OK? We could shoot for Dux, and continue on if it's not looking strong enough... I'll see if I can get a car, if not I'd be up for splitting a zip.
