MM5 shows strong east wind for Saturday but it may be too cold at Stevenson. Roosters might add a couple of degrees to bring it into the botom range of...
NWS sez: Sunday: Mostly sunny. Areas of low clouds and patchy fog near hood river. Very windy. Highs 35 to 40. Cascade locks westward...east wind 30 to 40 mph...
Fun at Stevenson today. Sailed 3.2 on a 72L Fish. Session shortened by an OOWIE (sp?)...nuts. Several sailors out including Wind Mt. Pete (why doesn't he...
Good to see you out there, Tom..... great day. Glad to get a good 3.2 sesh to burn off belly fat from turkey day. Cold air temps yesterday, but water temp is...
Windy today, but still too cold for me. Looking like Weds could have some more moderate east winds and also air temps in the 40's. Maybe that'll be enough to...
Thank you for your reply and your interest. My experience and perception of the effort is similar to yours. I raised the same issues. I proposed the same...
I'm thinking about a lunch time sail at Rooster tomorrow. I've heard there will be wind and over 40 degrees. This is about as good as it gets this time of...
I plan/hope to sail Rooster tomorrow (Wed). Hopefully Trudy and some of the other PDXers will join us for lunch! That would neat. With regard to forecasts,...
NWS is calling for 20-30MPH. If its reasonably nice, I'll check out Rooster around noon. Bring all your layers! bobg ... some ... of ... but ... underneath. ...
At 6 AM the gradient between PDX and The Dalles is .20 hg and decreasing. Stevenson was averaging 33 and Troutdale 28 mph out of the east. In that scenario...
Wind direction looks favorable to Stevenson at this time. Air temp looks much better than the other day when my gear stayed FROZEN together (boom got frozen...
The gradient is 0.24 between the Dalles and Troutdale now. Wow! The gusts at Troutdale are ususally a good gauge for the average at Rooster (34 gusts now)....
I went to Rooster - no surprise that nobody else was there. Plenty of smoke on the water and pretty darn windy. The water's cold but not as cold as the air....
Hey Peter, Larry (ring finger Larry) here and I have sailed in Jan at chinook landing right off the beach area north of the boat docks and I got a good hour...
Passed on Rooster at 10 AM since it looked like the only thing to rig there was a boom bra...smokin'. Went to the boat ramp at Stevenson and got pounded there...
From checking mapquest - Chinook Landing looks like closest spot west of Rooster. I've heard this mentioned before, but have never tried to sail there. Only...
Yep, really nice at Stevenson, filled in early on the inside.... then wind direction shifted straight outta the east, caused the inside to get up & down, gusty...
I couldn't get that link to work but I looked at google maps (maps.google.com) and found the same thing. Chinook park looks like it has good access, and also...
Damn You guys are hard core. I used to be that way but more of a fair weather guy now. I do admire your conviction though ! My personal beast is Jan 6th...
Simple matter of getting (and keeping) the body climatized to cold conditions. Biggest prob in winter is these long wet spells (November) when it's difficult...
I just checked the water temp at Bonneville and it's currently 44F/6.5C as of noon yesterday. This is a couple degrees colder than average for this time of...
Went to Roosters and watched the show with John. It's probably been windier there sometime (I'm told a gust over 100 mph was registered near there once), but...
SORRY GUYS NOT TRYING TO GO COMMERCIAL OR ANYTHING BUT I REALLLLLY MISS MY SAILWORKS SO I AM SELLING MY 2006 EZZY S.E. 4.2 AND 4.7 THEY WERE BOUGHT IN JUNE AND...
Similar to Tom E - I checked out both Rooster and Chinook Landing today around 3PM. I posted some pictures in "Chinook Landing - Troutdale" folder. Wind...
Stopped by Rooster this morning on my way out to Hood River. It was even windier than yesterday; scary beautiful and a sight to see. Spindrift was way above...
As long as it's above freezing, and warmer than the air temp, it should offer a 'haven' in which to soak your wind-chilled hands! Easy for me to say, writing...
