44 mph winds with 54 mph gusts at Wilson Lake..... do you have to wonder where Darren is?
Why does Darren look exhausted, yet happy? When the wind kicked up he was out of here with board and sails within 10 min. You have to take it when you can get it. He says if he could have guaranteed wind all the time he would give up all other sports for windsurfing. (Even kayaking, wow) Paige was worried about him the whole time he was gone and left wind update messages on his cell phone. Just like he could whip his phone out of his drysuit and have a conversation! Wilson Lake is ideal for windsurfing and on windy days you can find a few other guys out there. There are only a handful of sailers in the valley (who would think windsurfing in the desert? But can you think of a windier place than here?) Tonight Darren was the only one brave (stupid) enough to be out. Even with his smallest, 3.0, sail he was catching too much air with his big board. The board he wished he'd had with him is hanging on his office wall. It hangs there with his kayak nearby to remind him why he works - so he can play!

I am so glad that someone here has a use for all this terrible wind--it is making me a little crazy!
