Coming Home
Submitted by alton on Mon, 2010-09-06 20:45.
Scored 3 hours at the Hatchery on 5.2 and 4.7 / 93L (W20-25) before returning home. Driving through the scenic Yakima valley avoiding most of the ugly I-5 traffic.
Did anyone catch the Boundary Bay session this afternoon (2:30pm-4pm)?
If so, what did I miss? Go ahead ... rub it in.

Did anyone happen to end up at Nitinat this weekend? Debated until the final hour and ended up heading to Squamish for 3 days, but would be interested to know Nitinat's conditions.

Alton, it sounds like you got some great deals!! That's amazing to have a relatively new quiver of Northwave sails from 2.8 up to 6.0 for $200. Well done. If you see any good deals on used weed fins for a Tuttle box (for sail sizes 6.0 up to 7.5) and Powerbox (for sail sizes 4.7 up to 6.0) could you buy them for me and I'll pay you back?

Orca Weedfin
Submitted by Brian C on Tue, 2010-09-07 06:11.
Yes, it's a powerbox Orca 13.5" weed fin. Top quality in perfect condition. I'd say it's for 5.5 - 7.5m sails on mid-size (95 litre+) boards. If anyone's interested I'll sell it for $70 (half new price).

Camouflage
Submitted by alton on Mon, 2010-09-06 08:15.
After upgrading my vintage (1999) gear, I can blend in with all you cool cats with modern gear.
I finally understand when you guys say:
1. Do yourself a favor and throw that away
2. I wouldn't sail that without a marine radio
3. You'll have to pay someone to take that
4. Since when does gear flow from Alton to someone else?
5. Stop wasting your money on tuck tape
6. Is your family embarrassed?
Did I leave anything out?

Maybe OK around 2:30
Submitted by Michael on Mon, 2010-09-06 00:15.
Maybe OK around 2:30 but there is an option of going to the boat launch and walking out for about 10 min.
I may go to the Ferry Terminal though, I'll see how the wind is in the morning.

Squamish Monday
Submitted by chofmeister on Sun, 2010-09-05 17:30.
Does anyone have any predictions for Squamish tomorrow? I have some moderate/light wind gear so I can pretty much go out in anything, and my girlfriend wants to use her practice kite.

Nothing for Squamish this week. No temperature gradients to support any wind.
