So I am out at sauvies praying for wind and putting together log rafts (sorry fisherman) when..... yeehaw the winds here (see graph)..  ... oh wait, no its not.
On the plus side I moved all the small logs and stuff. We still have several piles of wood and some big logs left (couldn't budge them) Maybe we can get some people together and take care of the rest. Its good Karma you know!

Hey Mark,
Nice work... All those Sauvie riders should be schleping your gear and bringing you beer for the rest of the season. This is your second time out there busting butt on the launch site...
I busted out of work early and caught a sweet solo two hour session at the Hatchery from 4-6pm. Perfected the drift launch and landing off the point. Perfect 16m on my 17m lines, and lots of unhooky kite loops. Finally got bored of the perfect wind, went home and worked on getting da Malibu ready for the summer.
Not a bad way to spend an afternoon... Damn, I need a good aviator. Hey Mark, feel like taking some pictures next time we get out kiting? Funny how the photoguy never gets shots of himself. Speaking of that...nice aviator there Mark!
Adios, Bam

Naw the wind was not that big. I think there must have been someone climbing the pole and spinning the anamometer!
Bam I would love to take the cam out and snap some shots. Let me know when.
As for the avatar I know the right people with cameras
My schedule is usually flexable in the afternoons so feel free to give me a call and lets ride!
