Windy Weekend Alert

The weather forecasts aren't to be overly trusted, but they all seem to agree that we're in for one windy weekend. So, batten down the hatches, mateys, and tuck another reef in yon main! And, don't forget the requirement to wear a PFD/life preserver (state law for regattas and races); race committee should confirm by flying code flag "Yankee". Note that the forecasts are for peak sustained winds; gusts can be higher but the sustained winds can be quite a bit lower, especially before about 10 or 11 in the morning. I'll try to get updates as the weekend gets closer; maybe we'll get lucky and the winds will start to blow out before the weekend.
