NITINAT, JUNE 17-18, 2000 WEEKEND
Weather Data at Nitinat Lake
I set up at weather station
at Nitinat Lake for the Weekend. This was a classic Nitinat weekend.
Saturday morning everyone that camped out Friday night was awoken by the
sound of wind starting at nine o'clock. I got out about 11:30am on
my GO Board with a 6.0 SailWorks sail and lasted for about an hour on this.
Then the fog started to roll in off the Pacific and the wind started to
crank up. After five hours of sailing I'd had enough. Sunday
was mellower and Paul Betts ran the first of the Nitinat Roberts Slalom
Race Series from 1:30 to 2:30. Conditions were 6.0 to 7.0 during
the race and after the race conditions were 5.5 to 6.0. Generally
it was a pretty good weekend. Monday looked like it was going to
kick in because the fog bank was still there.
