The wind

[The Prisoner]

Is nuts here. Was just outside and a shingle flew off the roof and slammed into the windshield of my truck. Scared the heck out of me. No damage but it is brutal here.

It's been rather Blustery along the SoCal coastal region today too.

Pretty normal in Havasu today but my guys up in Kingman have been complaining about the wind all day.

Good thing you have a ocean racing boat. Shouldn’t notice anything.

That’s the shootout date. I’m a spectator. Last year it blew about 25.

Any bets?

I know your spectating I have followed your build and any post pertaining to DS you have posted.

Bets on wind? Bets on boats? Idk who’s even going?
Think April is a horrible time for it. As it’s always windy.

Past few years, the shootout has been impacted due to wind.
Over 30 have registered this year, only time will tell who actually runs.

Lets just hope the gun is calibrated correctly and any runs completed with bad gun are DQ’d and avoid the BS from last year.

calm down

Wind speed, not boat speeds.

If they would just schedule a sailboat race for the same weekend it would be perfect.

 

[Desert Whaler]

i just broke wind

 

[Heylam]

It’s called Desert Storm for a reason. Otherwise, it would be called Desert Calm. Always windy in the spring.

Hahaha

They should replace DS with the world championship kite sailing.

It was nice coming across the 40 today.

Wind pushed me all the way to the 95…

Nice smooth ride…. Going down the 95 was a different story with the cross wind.

 

[musicFunsun]

We hit several dust storms coming home Vegas today.

Great day in Havasu on the water today! Wind was blowing but it really wasn’t bad. Found a private beach and enjoyed the hell out of nobody being out!
