Onsite report from Adam: 35 G 40.  The're going out, so I'll head there. Possibly consider elsewhere if it gets any stronger? Too much North in the wind for Cottonwood. Water level too high for Camas. Maybe Corbett? Anyway, see you guys there! |

And I had nice beer with Tom, delicious. |

Airport was still going strong after 4:30 when i left.
I'm suprised we didn't get chased off, the planes seem awful close when they go straight overhead. Nak if you read this how high are the planes when they come over Broughton beach to land on the most northern runway? Only time i'm glad my jumps are so lame!!
Anyone going out tomorrow morning?? |

About 300 feet if they're on glide path. Fortunately, the north component of the wind should be moving the wake vortex to the south. |

I was okay, just had some gear issues and a bad self rescue that turned into me letting the whole thing go. The real bitch of it was having my board attached to the leash so my kite left with the board. I think I am going to stop hooking my board up to my leash from now on, even though it makes certain aspects of the self rescue way easier.
Tom was a big help today we drove to Washougal to try to track it down. No luck though.
Nak offered up his boat to do another search, might try that. I am pretty sure its on the island by Cottonwood beach. Not sure what shape the kite would be in after flapping in 40mph easterlies but at least the board and bar should be salvageable.
One good thing: Drysuits rock! over 25 minute swim in the water and plenty warm. |
