Seeing some signs of a WNW pier wrap Sunday for MC. Looking like a morning til 1 deal and then late day thermal. A chunky wave day comes from these origins and could it be early signs of fall with a WNW???

http://superboat.com/2012-michigan-city-schedule/, Michigan City is probably pretty hectic today, Thanks John! (should have gotten there early....). Light at Miller, but pumping my 12 now, it may work

Notch another warm SUMMERTIME North downwinder for the bros along the Michigan shoreline..........left Saugatuck about noon with head and a half waves pounding the shoreline and a NW wind blowing 25, cruised down the coast with Greg, Jimbo, Big T and TG. We hit South Haven and kept on going, landing bout 6 miles South of town. Had cold pops and a truck waiting, along with some fresh blueberries and cherries......can you say PURE MICHIGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great day in S Haven...warm, windy, massive waves, can't ask for more!
S Haven riders are great, always there to lend a helping hand and know the right of way rules ta boot. Some riders still need to be reminded to body drag past the buoys and to avoid walking on beach with their kite but otherwise a stellar day.
If you see Drew C. give him props for helping rescue girl off the rocks after a large wave yanked her off the pier and also helping drag a couple of kids back to shore after the rip current pulled them out.
Way to go man!!!
