Haha, well said Nak. I might pass today. Got a bit of stuff to take care before hitting the winter ale fest Drunk

There might be some Southerlies at the coast on Sat though.

I will see you there. Still have my gear in the car from yesterday. Went down there but it was way to gusty. What do you think about a Dalton down winder?

Gene, you'll regret it! Looks pretty good out there today. Very Happy 20 -25 at Skamania... The wind gods almost always deliver after a tease like yesterday. They feel bad about it. Very Happy

Never piss off the wind gods by making a statement like this. Sad

There was wind, but there was more wind upwind. So we motored off to Dalton to do the downwinder. Wind died there before we got going. Went back to RR, wind was very light but rideable. Figured it was going to die off before I could get out. ( I was right...) Some guys that went straight up to the volleyball courts got a session in before it died. Rolling Eyes

I'm done for now. Family obligations this weekend and then a 2 week work trip. Then Christmas, so probably my December session will be the two tacks I got in at Camas yesterday. Do two underpowered tacks count as a session? Question

No it won't. Unless you'll take lots more folks (me included) with you. Twisted Evil
