Thanks! Hope someone will send a OSR

Thanks. I'll drop by for a quote. Oleg at Gorge Surf Shop (overnight repair) is done for the season so Sailworks may be a good option. Otherwise, I'll have to sail overpowered on Saturday and pick up another 3.6 at Sunday's swap meet. Also, North Sail in Richmond can also do the job in a weeks time.

I'm heading down early tomorrow. Where you staying?

Tucker Park ETA Fri AM

At Tucker's or hopefully on the water. I'll be in the Red Honda Odyssey as usual. Should arrive early afternoon Friday.

I sent you the details by email my friend, thx a lot !


* The Wind is my friend, but friendship needs Time

Heading to Squamish later today. My last session this season --- will be in Mui Ne Vietnam for more windsurfing.

Can you rent good quality gear in Mui Ne?

I think/hope so... I can't bring my gears with me... I can bring my (sorry -- it's forbidden word here for many) kiteboard :-)

Yes you can rent gear. Starboard and Severne mostly. I wouldn't bring gear unless you were planning on staying for months as its about a 3-4 hour drive from airport in Ho Chi Min and would be a pretty big hassle to get there with your gear ($$).

Maybe I'll join you before heading for Hood River tonight to catch Fri evenings westerlies.

Running out of time today.
AJ - have a good trip to Vietnam.

Thanks Alton! You didn't miss much. I got there at 2pm and the wind started from 3:30-4:30 about 16-20 knots... Flat water as expected... Have fun at the Gorge! See you at Boundary Bay this fall/winter!!!

Nice you can join me..

When does your weekend start? Which days are you thinking of?
Sat (sunny) is looking good.
Sun (swap meet) and Mon (Labor Day) partly cloudy - too early to forecast

Lingering easterlies give way to PM westerlies Friday. Strong, gusty westerlies Saturday. Moderate westerlies Sunday.
The upper ridge will linger on Friday morning and will keep modest easterlies going. However, an upper trough will begin to approach and the ridge will slide eastward through the day. This should result in winds switching westerly for Jones Beach and the western and central Gorge. On Saturday, look for strong and gusty westerlies as a cold front sweeps through and a potent upper trough slides over the Pacific Northwest. On Sunday, look for moderate to maybe stronger westerlies to hold as the North Pacific High remains off the Pacific Northwest coastline.

Friday:
Lingering easterlies switch to westerlies in the PM. Jones Beach reaching late afternoon WNW upper teens with Sauvie Island reaching NW mid to maybe upper teens. Stevenson to Rooster seeing morning and midday mid to upper teen easterlies, then switching to late afternoon mid to upper teen westerlies. The Corridor maybe seeing evening weak upper teen westerlies. Lighter to the east. The Coast reaching modest NW mid teens.

Saturday:
Strong and gusty westerlies. Stevenson reaching gusty mid 20's. The Corridor reaching gusty mid to upper 20's. Doug's to Arlington reaching gusty upper 20's to near 30. The Coast seeing NW upper teens to around 20.

Sunday:
Gusty westerlies linger. Stevenson reaching around 20. The Corridor in the lower 20's. The Near East and East reaching low to maybe mid 20's. The Coast quiets to NW mid to maybe upper teen peaks.

Thanks for the update. Doesn't sound classic, but we may get lucky. I'm likely heading down Friday (time of day dependent on forecast) and returning Monday afternoon, but I'm monitoring for the final decision. Anybody else?

I may even skip Squamish and head down tomorrow (Thur) so I can have the Gorge Surf shop repair my 3.6 for 30 knots on Saturday.

I'll confirm Thursday.
