Toasty 54 degrees and nicely lit on a 7m. Crazy nice weekend.

Damn myself to hell for not going. I looked at the wind meter for Astoria which read 8 E. Figured it wouldn't work. I suck.

Not sure - didn't get that wet - spent most the time working the mud flats with the skimboard in 1 or 2 inches - super fun. Got some long runs across the slick mud before eating it. I was sweating in the dry suit.

actually, pretty do-able even with the tide super low. We were cruising on the inside in the channel and bak out around the point into the columbia with some fun wind-waves...
rode till about 3ish...

A few more pics!

Jeff, I was in my 4.3 and doing fine. Even with gloves and booties my feet and hands were a little cold though. Had to take several warm up breaks, unlike Tucker, in his drysuit. Twisted Evil
