Sensors looking good for sauvie and woodland but i don't really have the time - instead i wasted the last hour nipping out to Frenchmans to see if i could steal a quick session - yet again it looked 'orrible. most of Vancouver on the beach as well. someone trying to fly a 'roo at the south spot but looked like they were working trying to keep it in the air and not on the river. I need a sponsor to call and talk me out of it whenever i get the urge to act out at frenchmans!

flag on top of pdxmb's building is taunting me by being flapping hard, i just know woodland, sauvie, kalama and jones are probably all cranking and here i am back in the office - saving grace is once i get finished here i have all next week off to chase wind - hope the coast turns back on i want to go to pistol and floras

I would totally do this for you, but I hear that co-dependent relationships bring everyone down.

LOL, its great I have a building now (or creepy you guys know where I "work").

I don't know why it doesn't work more often but after a few frenchmans sitting on the lawn sessions I officially gave it up. Same for the airport.

More often than not, just a big waste of time. Not sure why, but that is the way it seems.

Unlike Sauvie, of course, where the wind is almost blowing and entertainment is often top notch Laughing

I usually watch the Felida, Fremont, and Scapoose sensors on WOTW for Frenchman's, and wait for Felida and Fremont to gust around 20. I've had good luck with this strategy so far this year. They all looked good yesterday starting around 3pm, so I was surprised when it didn't come up until around 6pm. Anyone have other prediction strategies for Frenchman's?

I had the 'roo at the far end of the beach Pauls saw. Was showing someone the basic of kite flying, so the light wind wasn't bad to start with, then got better as the wind came up.
