Windsurfing & Stand-Up Paddleboarding in Michigan
I windsurf.com has been calling for a really big day for us at Rondeau Bay all this week with SouthWesterlies and scattered thunderstorms. Hopefully after getting our hopes up as everyone is rather wind starved here right now this does not dissapate as Monday gets closer. This is a Canadian holiday and there should be a large group of sailers at the park. The only problem is being a holiday the alcohol ban(this weekend only) in the park will be heavilly enforced. And security at the entrance gate will be around the clock. The park entrance fee for one day pass is unfortunately around $15.00 Canadian!!
There are many bike trails and rollerblading, and open tennis courts, as well as camping. I believe Rondeau Joe's Restaurant at the park entrance is open as well as OJ and Mollies in Erieau (great lake perch) not far away. As well as several restaurants in Blenheim.
Tale 401 just past Chatham Ont, to exit 101 Dresden Rd 15 south toward lake Erie right turn at the third stop sign and straight into the park entrance.
Hopefully our hopes will not be dashed!!! report to follow on Tuesday! Don

You're right, it always seems to look flatter in a pic, especially with a wide angle lens like the go pro.
Well, I've been on the water ZERO times since Hatteras!
Brooke and I got out at Lakewood site tonight on 5.5s and 100 ltrs for a couple of hours May 16. thursday night.
Lots of fun big ramps and the water temps are getting better all the time. Water is very dirty though, coffee coloured and lots of debris so you have to keep a close eye out for deadheads in the water (partially submerged logs). Air temp was around 50 quite cool from this afternoons high of around 70. Drizzled most of the time, but it was still fun!!
Monday June 1 Rondeau Bay
We were there around 9:30 sailed all day on 5.0 and 85 litres as well as 5.5 and 100 litres. In the afternoon it kind of went WSW for about 3 hours and was steady enough to sail 5.0 and 85 and have some fun. Building the whole time till at least 4pm. So we were spent by 4 and packed it in, just as Ken arrived, rigged and put in.Funny the retirees and truants got the first shift yesterday!! The working people showed prety much after 4. Looks like it went back to West later on Except for the lull at 5 it looked good right till dark. St. Clair had also ramped up by the time we got home, pretty much stayed west over 20 here till dark as well. I imagine you guys had a crowd at Blue Lagoon yesterday afternoon as well? Don
