Friday morning, just as we were walking out to the Econo Lodge parking lot to get in the car leave leave, Big Air Jim and Brad driving down the road. We stood on the curb waving and shouting - but I guess after 800km, he was fixated on the road ahead. They drove past, but then to our suprise, turned at next the intersection and stopped at the Starbucks across the street. We hurried over and joined the lineup with Brad. After only a few minutes, he seemed to come alert, and spoted us beside him. What a surprise. It tourned out Blaine was with them, but had stopped at the MacDonalds just down the road. What a coincidence!! Even the A+W twins were there. Great to see everone, and what a surprise. We all made a quick stop at Safeway and then headed for the river!

We arrived at Roosevelt around 10am. The wind was light, but everyone got out. I was on my 6.6, but most of the others were on 5.6 (Harold 5.3). The wind was a bit up and down, but I think everyone had fun. We would have liked more wind, but it was a good way to warm up. We sat around waiting for the wind to pick up at 4:00, but it didn’t happen so we packed up and headed for Hood River.

We stopped at Rowena where the wind looked better, but it was already 6:00pm so most headed back to the house. Kent and I stayed for a quick sail. It was definitely the best sailing of the day, but still it only lasted an hour. Definitely worth the stop. When we got back to the house, Andreas had cooked supper – excellent!!! We ended the evening with Big Air Jim explaining the stock market using candle sticks.
