Ok, you guys got me ?paranoid? about lightning. So when out today in the sound I see a flash in a set of darker clouds. I lay the sail down and watch the...
Nov. 7, 2009 was a very blustery weather day around the NW. Damaging, very high winds on the coast… And huge waves crashing into Westport flooding downtown...

And a special Thanks to Brett (a Winduro veteran, but he didn't sail Sat.) … and Doug (for also taking pics) and Ken!! These 3 drove around a bit, checking...
We knew Mark D. was sailing up to Newcastle for the start. Glenn and I decided at the Skipper's Meeting to just do one start for everybody. Last year we had...
Hi Greg, I read that the wind was gusting to 40+. You mentioned gusts of 30 that I think you under estimated. Thanks for the complete details of a great...
Thanks Don, good point, but I don't buy it. I'm all for more information... but the only reports I heard or saw that Sat eve regarding what happened all day...
Greg, It is pretty clear to me that you should have started the race with more downhaul on your sail. That would not have made very much difference in the...
Hi Greg, Thanks for the comments on the wind readings. I have similar experiences at Purdy. Iwindsurf can show gusting to 30 but actually it's about 15....
I was home sick on Saturday. Not too sure I would have wanted to launch into those conditions anywy, lol. You guys that finished are animals. --Rick ... From:...

Hi, Alexey, myself and 2 or 3 other folks who I hadn't met before windsurfed at Waverly before sunset today. Very nice winds, I was fully powered in 6.4 most...
Now that's a windsurfing story Greg. The greatest of respect to all those that completed or mostly completed the Winduro. I had only windsurfed once this year...
Did anyone watch both "The 12-Step Jibe with Dasher" (by Dasher) and "Intuition" (by Guy Cribb) ? I watched the "12-Step" one. I found it very informative. I...
Awesome question. I haven't watched Inutition, so I'd be curious to hear about it as well. Dasher's 12-step is a classic - I watched it many times :-) and many...
My 2009 Winduro had a lot of parallels with Greg's experience, but without any of the conditioning. I only got to the Gorge two times this year (once ran into...
