Spring Gorge Trip 2011: June 15, 2011 - An 9 out of 10 Day at Roosevelt

Blaine says the day was a 9 out of 10. The call was Roosevelt...

it was blowing 4.8 when we got there just before noon.

Blaine was stoked!

Thanks Harold and Andreas for Photos of me.....

The wind stayed steady all afternoon, building a bit. I was on my 4.8 all day, and just changed between my Naish when it was lighter and my Kode when it was stronger. It felt really good to be in control for a change......

Handre - mid Jibe.

Handre was blasting back and forth, trying his Jibes ... came very close on a couple. I think it made up for yesterday.

I did a lot of sailing, but also had time for lots of video and photos. The wind filled in close to to shore, so there were lots of good jibing shots, and many crashes on the video.

More photos from today are on my Flickr Site.

Kent - Big Smiles

Andreas's parents arrived in their motorhome. They will be staying in the gorge for a few days to watch Andreas Kite, and will then head down the Oregon Coast. It was great to see them. I sat with them on the point for an hour taking photos.

No rioting in Roosevelt. In spite of the Stanley Cup loss.. no broken equipment, no "adventures", just smiles everywhere and very sore muscles....and very tired sailors.

Brad -Big Ass Jibe!

I went up to the T&M bar in Roosevelt with Andreas and his Dad to watch Period three of the Stanley Cup. Somehow between when we left Roosevelt and arrived at the T&M (about 5 minutes), the score changed from 1-0 to 3-0. At least the burger was good.

It was a very early night - as everyone was exhausted from so much time on the water.

Looking forward to more sailing tomorrow...
