Looking good for some westerlies with clearing skies in the afternoon:

just got back from the dalles, saw whitecaps on the river heading home and it was about 80% - 85% clear. i'd be thinking about going out but it is still too cold for me. it would have been sweet to have the first sesh of the year on march 1st tho. the lyle sandbar was HUGE, but i bet rufus or SS would be your best bet today

a little blusterly early but then it cleared up and was pretty lit 9m in the sun.

55 degrees outside, wasn't too bad when the sun was out. definitely warmer than our last day of 2007 in the Gorge.

today looks like sunny with light winds, but we can hope.

My trainer kite is shot. We crashed it into the trees 3 times, lol. Time for a new one. Think I'm gonna get a 3 or 4 meter this time though.

Today was even better. A little lighter but more sun and kiting from the grass at ES was sweet.

Warmer in The Dalles today than PDX set up some classic conditions. Gorge season is on for sure.

Sunday was a nice surprise.
I didn't think it would be windy enough or last as long as it did.
very nice.
