2010-09-11 - Hatchery

The day started fairly slowly - first, Big Air Jim and I went to the Dog River Coffee shop to work on my blog.  Then we all went to Bett's for breakfast.  Andreas headed to Portland early to pick up Ross who was flying in from Vancouver. 

Harold - about to jibe around Kent

The forecast was for light wind in the corridor, so we headed to the Hatchery around noon.  It was windier than Friday, but we were all on our big gear.  I was on a 6.6, but was able to use my 94 Kode.  Most of the guy's were on 5.6 sails, except Harold who was on 5.3.  Harold W started with a 6.5 but then rigged down to a 5.6.  Ross and Andreas choose to kite.

We had lots of fun and sailed until around 4:00.  Big Air Jim and Kent tried to squeak out the last little bit of wind.  Kent was lucky and caught a gust, but Big Air Jim had to swim back....Even swimming back, he claims he was still the fastest one on the water......

Harold out sailed by a Sailboat... possibly Bart.....

Steaks and Wine, courtesy of Andreas and Ross back at the house. Another wonderful meal. I don't think anyone here will go hungry.  Looking forward to Sunday - although the forecast isn't great......
