Has anyone been out to Sauvies lately? It looks like it might happen tonight.

I went out there a week or so ago. There's basically no beach; just wide enough to pump up your kite. Drift launching is nearly your only option. And good luck finding a spot the fishermen aren't using.

Wind is only 5 at 040 right now. It would have to pick up a lot to entice me but if it does I might be there. Chances are that anyone who goes will get skunked today. Don't forget the beer!

Tomorrow's forecast is absolutely crappy.

Don't go there.

Not enough beach for both of us.

It won't blow, or should I say, "it will blow".

Fishermen too mean. Wind line too lean.

Tempting. Both sauvie and the Freemont bridge read 7 on WOTW. I called the airport line though and it read 5. I'll wait for it to pick up some more before I pull the trigger on heading out.

Youkai,

I'll see you tomorrow out there.

If only there were a better spot on the other side of the river with more beach, easier access and...

oops...

I almost gave it away.

Dude!! No revealing the secret stash! (blokt u should totally check that shit out though! )

Yes, it's full of raw sewage, alligators, needles, and a few remaining D.B. Cooper twenties.

Don't even try it. Awful stuff.

Not even worth considering.

Stick with the fat nudies.

Yep, that's the place I'd guessed. It's only close if you live in vancouver.

Last time I went to check it out, the beach was posted with a large number of raw sewage warning signs. I don't know how frequently that's an issue there.

Like most things in the Couv, that place sucks.

It hardly ever bows there are there is a shit load of freighter traffic. And a shit load of shit.. It your looking for really grim you could try Vancouver Lake. Now that is a good ol' fashioned fecal freak good time.

A few years back I was tempted to try out Lumpy Lake on South winder.

I had to pull over to puke on the 5, going home.

Absolutely nasty place.

I can't believe they have a park and swimming area. It must get real nice as the temp rises. Chunky Soup ;(
