Welcome to the New Northwest Windtalk severing the windsurfers of the
Pacific Northwest.

I am learning how to setup the newsgroup.  I will be add another
moderator to the group shortly as some as the person has registered
with egroups. I do not want to have control of this group. Control
should be joint effort of several members.  If you look into your
personal settings on egroup you can have email delivery sent singly
or
as a daily batch.  If you are having trouble getting the delivery you
want? The moderator can some that setting change in that area.

As in the past, no spaming, harvesting of email address or use of
anyone's email address out side this forum (we all get enough junk
mail already) or swearing.  Violators will be removed.

A Welcome again to New Northwest Windtalk, a new start for a great
newsgroup tradition.

Anthony Boesen
Salem, OR

Tod Pellaton has been added as a Moderator. You did volunteer on the
old newsgroup.

Hey, This new E-group really works great! How many of us are on it? Just the
list of testers Anthony sent out?

Don, Call of the Wind claims there will be wind in the gorge on sat and sun.
It should blow in Ellensburg at the minimum. Vantage will probally go also.

Tod-  Egroups offer a large number of features.  Go to
http://www.egroups.com/group/NW-WINDTALK and check it out.  You can click on
members to see a list of members (currently 12).  There is lots of potential
in the additional things that can be done via egroups including adding
calendar events, posting files (photo's), creating databases (sailing sites
or detailed member directories) and more all in one central location.

This is a test on the new NW E-group. I plan to leave soon for a nice session in the gorge. Hot surfing date with my wife Marie. The pager is claiming 20-27 at swell with a .06 gradient at 11am. It is still cloudy here in Boring so the thermals should give it a good kick this afternoon. Maybe Mosier will be good.

Hey.  You could go in the ocean over 1000 times  and it would still be
more dangerous driving to the beach once.

I sailed at Champagne point sat 4-6pm meter said 14g17 - nicely
powered
on my 7.5 / 298 - working on laydown jibes - I get the impression
they
are better/easier when marginally overpowered.  ERIC

When posting from the eGroups web page it shows my email address.

When posting from the email (NW-WINDTALK@egroups.com) my email address
is not shown.

For any of those following the thread on Gorge ear, specifically the ear
exostosis I have ordered up the fit kit. Hopefully I will get it next week.
Sounds like I can have it for awhile but then am supposed to send it back.
I'll keep the group posted on my experience. Anyone is welcome to contact me
for a fit if they are interested. I'm in the Sandpoint area.

Fritz

In Outlook Express you can get the senders email address by double clicking
the message and clicking on the name or right click and get properties. It
is the same in the old NW Wintalk group also. This is fine with me as I
would like to meet everyone on the group anyway. On the e-group webpage is a
list of everyone also on the members option.

Hi Gang

The system has a lot of good options, like posting files, taking polls,
a calendar for events and more.  There is 20 Mb storage limit on the
posting of files.  Use it sparingly.

There are good options for receiving information.
1.  Email Messages (This is where each message is sent to your email
address)
2.  Daily Digest (This is where all the messages for one day are sent as
one-combined message.)
3.  Web Only / No Email (This is for the people who only want to look at
messages).  With this option you can, View by Date or View by Thread.
Neat!

Nuke Alley was good! But maybe not as good as you'd think with .10. I sailed
my 6.7 Supersonic on a 274 Fanatic Bee from 3:30 to 4:00. Then quickly
changed over to a 5.3 Northwave on a Randy French 8'5", which ended up being
fine but a bit underpowered at times. It was especially holey on the WA
shore. Lots of fun til I quit around 7:00. Big crowd there, and all the
parking spaces were gone. I noticed some folks parked and launching at a
tiny little turnout about 1/2 mile towards Cathlamet. Looked like a perfect
way to launch into the strongest winds, but you are crossing the hiway just
at the trickiest of places with that turn.

I rushed into dropping my name off of the "other" list, and then I saw it
will be active until the end of August. Hope this list fills up fast.

Fritz, I see you are in the Sandpoint area. I sailed there in the
Springtime a few times many years ago (early 90's) just south of town in the
river. I remember it was good 6m sailing. The Lake there is so pristine!
Marie and I have sailed many times at Lake Roosevelt also.

Where do you sail in that area and how often does it blow, etc?

Wrong Sandpoint. I'm near the old Naval station, Magnuson beach on Lk WA.
The lake is not so pristine but way better than it was before the sewage
pipeline I'm told by my native spouse who lived near the lake then.

Amen! I grew up in the early '60's on the the water at the north end of
Mercer Island (back when you could get a place on the water for 25 grand).
We kids spent at least 60-90 days a summer barefoot and swimming with the
brown trout. Didn't thinks nothing of it... where the hell was "e-coli"
invented, none of us ever got sick, except the feet were feeling sick after
Labor Day and we had to crowd them back into shoes.

There is at least a stray chance for Westport to blow the next couple of
afternoons. Be sure to follow Adam's formula before making the long drive
from Seattle. Of course if you have the time off or don't work like Mr.
Whaley who is camped out down at Pistol River, Oregon will have a much
higher completion ratio then Washington.

Look at Col R. starting up!  It's a little late in the year for "Adam's
formula" to work, however.

As a review.... could one of you please address the class as to what "Adam's
Rule" is exactly? Or is it a secret?

With any system there are few bugs.  For a few of you joiners approval
for the newsgroup has been slowed due to Egroup not notifing the
moderators.  If you are not getting the service by Wednesday just send
me the email address and I will forcibly add you to the list.
