I was going to head out, but saw the Press diff dropping. Sad What time did you get out there Gman? Was there any wind left?

I'm thinking maybe tomorrow.

Not from Hood River Very Happy
Although, my nuts are voting against it, since the temps are still in the low 40's.

Anyone up for a Viento Sesh? I have a hallpass open until 2:30. Not sure about my motivation, but I need a wingman to really get me off my ass to get out on the water. Viento typically is warmer and way more tamer than Stevenson or Rooster.

I think Nate, Tekko and I are motivating ourselves up to go check out Viento for a Park and Play session if anyones tempted to join us. Will bring some new toys.

Gotta dig around for my damn winter suit Neutral , so might be moving around noon at earliest.
