Due to the very bleak wind forecast for both this Saturday and Sunday, the Winduro will be postponed until next weekend (Oct. 9 or 10), wind permitting of...
Mike, The Stevenson to Home Valley forecast of 20-35, while the rest of the Gorge is light, is a typical east wind gradient situation down there. Only the...

Good decision to cancel with no winds in the forecast. Unfortunately, I will have to cancel my participation for Oct 9-10. You have doine a great job of...
Sounds like a good idea Tim. I was getting a bit nervous about making a 4 hour drive up for a 1-4mph wind forecast. Count me in for being on-call for the...
In case you didn't know; there's an event scheduled at Porteau Cove, BC for that weekend (the BC Fleet Championship). I guess now I'm going to whichever has ...

... Who knows - maybe it will be windy enough to attract a few short boarders. If it looks possible I might give it a try with slalom gear. -- Don Ledford ...
Don - That would be quite the feat. No matter which direction the wind is blowing, you're faced with a massive wind shadow from the island. Not only that but...
Does anyone have a GOOD forecast for winds tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday? Looking at the Stevenson web cam today, it looked like very strong wind from before...
I know, same dilemma for me. The setup looks iffy but the MM5 showed reasonable gradients for tomorrow AM. I am going for it, but I also have other things...
This weekend looks bad, I guess that's why they cancelled the Winduro also. Not sure if you know about this site yet or not.. but has a forecast for 5 days...
It was nice out there. I went with 11.0/FW/70. Mark C went with 10.6/FW/70. I put 26 miles under the keel in the mid teens winds. 6 trips to the midchannel...

In Gorge, however, you can sail either a west gradient (most sites) or an east gradient (Stevenson or Home Valley or Rooster Rock). Pretty hard to go wrong...

Say what? It's very rare to have sailable east and west winds at the same time, and unsailable probably happens more often than sailable unless you include...

No, not at the same time. One or the other. If it ain't westerly, it's easterly. Almost never totally calm from Rooster to 3-Mile. Just go down there. You...
