<p>Larry, </p>
<p>The county park faces NW. It's all sandy bottom with no known hazards. Works on everything from SW -W- NE.</p>

<p><br/> I need to make a road trip to Caseville one of these days. Google maps tells me that it’s a couple hours from here. It looks like the launch faces NW, good for all but SE winds. Is that right? Anything else I should know? E.g. parking, underwater hazards, etc.?</p>

<p>Larry,</p>
<p>Glad you got out. I was strapped to my computer, but I'm breaking the windsurf gear out of storage this week. I was supposed to be in Hatteras on 5/2, so I'm still feeling a little bummed by that. We had crazy winds yesterday in Caseville but I missed it.</p>

<p><br></br> I finally nailed the trifecta of wishes from my April 9 session report. With the air temp in the 70s this weekend, not only could I forgo the dry suit, I didn’t need gloves or a hood either! Just a wetsuit and summer booties. And no hail! I sailed a 6.3 and 103 liter board. Other sailors were on 6.0-6.4s. I counted 5 other windsurfers and two kiters enjoying the wind and warm weather on Lake Lansing. For many, it was their first time out of the year.</p>

<p> We all had to dodge the motorboats and jet skis that are now allowed under the revised stay-at-home order. I am pleased that so many folk can now enjoy natural beauty, but I also must admit that I selfishly enjoyed the absence of motorized watercraft, albeit for a brief period.</p>

<p>Keep us posted on the foiling. I tried once in Turks and Caicos but the guy had it on a small narrow board. I could not get up. I think if I had a larger board I could have done it.</p>

<p>Good on you for getting out. Wiindsurfing is also good for the soul.</p>
<p>I'll be getting the gear out soon, and also christening a new foil board.</p>

<p>Congrats on getting out. Did not sound fun to me. I streetsailed this week in a short sleeve shirt. No rain, no sleet, no water starts. 8 miles of sailing and hundreds of jibes. I didn't even have to close one of my eyes! I am going to keep to the pavement a while longer.</p>

<p> I read the Governor’s new stay-at-home order. It allows leaving the home for physical activity, including canoeing, kayaking, and the like. While windsurfing was not explicitly listed, I choose to believe that windsurfing is a physical activity at least somewhat like kayaking. I think we’re on solid footing. I am not so sure that jet skiing qualifies as physical...</p>
