Equal Time.

Even politicians love to surf.

What do you think Senor Tillerman? Will you get out of your Laser for 2 seconds and try bodysurfing? I know you won't fish, too boring for you "East Coast" elites...cough, cough, cough....I'm teasing, really jefe, really!

P.S. Did I mention that I'm a Libertarian....more of a Milton Friedman Classical Liberal...on Tuesdays and the 3rd Sunday of every other month. Oh, the pain!

Force	Wind (Knots)	WMO Classification	Appearance of Wind Effects
			On the Water	On Land
0	Less than 1	Calm	Sea surface smooth and mirror-like	Calm, smoke rises vertically
1	1-3	Light Air	Scaly ripples, no foam crests	Smoke drift indicates wind direction, still wind vanes
2	4-6	Light Breeze	Small wavelets, crests glassy, no breaking	Wind felt on face, leaves rustle, vanes begin to move
3	7-10	Gentle Breeze	Large wavelets, crests begin to break, scattered whitecaps	Leaves and small twigs constantly moving, light flags extended
4	11-16	Moderate Breeze	Small waves 1-4 ft. becoming longer, numerous whitecaps	Dust, leaves, and loose paper lifted, small tree branches move
5	17-21	Fresh Breeze	Moderate waves 4-8 ft taking longer form, many whitecaps, some spray	Small trees in leaf begin to sway
6	22-27	Strong Breeze	Larger waves 8-13 ft, whitecaps common, more spray	Larger tree branches moving, whistling in wires
7	28-33	Near Gale	Sea heaps up, waves 13-20 ft, white foam streaks off breakers	Whole trees moving, resistance felt walking against wind
8	34-40	Gale	Moderately high (13-20 ft) waves of greater length, edges of crests begin to break into spindrift, foam blown in streaks	Whole trees in motion, resistance felt walking against wind
9	41-47	Strong Gale	High waves (20 ft), sea begins to roll, dense streaks of foam, spray may reduce visibility	Slight structural damage occurs, slate blows off roofs
10	48-55	Storm	Very high waves (20-30 ft) with overhanging crests, sea white with densely blown foam, heavy rolling, lowered visibility	Seldom experienced on land, trees broken or uprooted, "considerable structural damage"
11	56-63	Violent Storm	Exceptionally high (30-45 ft) waves, foam patches cover sea, visibility more reduced
12	64+	Hurricane	Air filled with foam, waves over 45 ft, sea completely white with driving spray, visibility greatly reduced

Rowing To Nowhere. Just Another Saturday On The Bay.

There was no wind, until there was.
When I wear my sculler's hat I hate the wind. I want flat and glassy.

You can call me Al!
That's Alcatraz downwind. Rowing is a backwards affair, I was rowing away from, not to Al Capone's retirement home.

What the hell? Thar be Lasers here!
I just can't seem to get away from these insidious boats.

There's nothing like a Folkboat. What a joy to sail!
Of course, if they are sailing there must be wind on my back.
Sure enough the swell started to lap over my gunwales filling my shell with water. So exit stage left back to East Beach. Just another Saturday on the bay.

sidenote: It's not easy taking photos from a rowing shell. I had to stop, hold the oars in place with one hand and take photos with the other.

I always like to take a swim after sailing. So I figured why not combine the two.

I Know It's Not Friday, But Here Are Some Groovy Fish For A Non-Wind Saturday.

Feed the fishys by  clicking and dropping some food.
Turn them into "Fishes Gone Wild" by clicking a lot.

Rustled from Guy&singquot;s Fly Fishing In Yellowstone. He caught
the critters over at Lake Abowman.
