Yea, sessions do burn some cash now! Likely approaching the cost of
ski lift tickets, especially for anyone driving down for an OBX
weekend sesh from places like DC/Richmond!
IWS is definitely a bonus to hedge against road sailing. Great thing
we have this resource now as compared to the days when only the sky
told us where the wind was blowing!
Looks like perhaps Monday, and though next week for some returning
strong SW flow. Can't wait!
