Happy Aloha Friday

Friday morning here on Maui and we've got mostly cloudy skies. Looks brighter than yesterday however. Yesterday was a gray day all day. If you monitored the wind graphs, you know there was wind on the north shore. As I monitored it on the web however it looked too offshore, gray, cloudy and cold to bother with. A report last evening from Speedy confirmed my decision was a good one. According to Speedy, who ventured out on his 4.7, it was super-windy outside and dead inside the reef. He said a 4.2 would have been better outside, but getting there on a 4.2 would not have been possible.

Things should be improving as we move into the weekend. Wind should start swinging around to a more normal NE direction by Sunday (that could mean today, tomorrow or Sunday). After that, the forecasts are calling for a long stretch of trades through next week.
