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

No S&%t! Wind's pretty punchy right now looks like. I'm hoping it smooths out a bit.

Not from Hood River
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.
