What’s Up?
Not much. Today is Friday 16 April 2021. The forecast here at ILE is for cloudy skies and southwest winds. I probably will not head down to the lake this morning.

Wherever you are, and whatever you are doing, I hope that you have a great day.

The veteran marathon windsurfer will have to wait for 2022 to try and finish the 300-mile sailing adventure along the Florida coastline, from Fort De Soto s East Beach to Key Largo.
This year, he threw in the towel after only 101 miles of adventures and misadventures.
Here s what happened, in his own words.
