If the scooter tow clinic at Ridgely is blown out Saturday and Bill's isn't, I think I'm in. Sallie might come out to take a look but isn't really cleared to fly it yet. Still hope Ridgely will be doable Sunday morning. - Hugh

Did you make to Bill's on Saturday?

Since HR is out of the picture, how about Bills today(Sunday)?

Sorry for late response - vegging out with the Sunday paper. No, we bailed on Bill's yesterday. Went sailing briefly yesterday - a bit chilly and windy, so only stayed out a short time.

Let me look at the weather... - Hugh

Same answer as on HG side. Someone needs to convince me there's a reasonable chance of getting up with that north or northeast forecast. I have *never* had anything more than a short extendo at Bill's. If you can get a quorum, it might be a good P2 experience builder - take a bunch of sleds. I think Sallie and I will go rowing instead... - Hugh

I'm staying in... awfully windy out there. Lazzlo is right: all models show 14-16 kts at 2000' from NNE. Beats me what we could do with that other than fly kites.
