I'm going down to La Ventana February 23- 28th and was planning to camp at Captain Kirks but for a 2 for one price I'd be willing to share a trailer or ...
At least, I think today is Wednesday. Sort of lose track over here :^) Possession offered up some nice 5.4/4.7 conditions this afternoon, for a couple of...

Dan, What is the cost for the trailer or casita for that number of days? Since it includes gear (but not lessons), I presume Kirk's 2 for 1 is for both gear...

Cool, thanks :) De-rigging isn't always the best idea, I agree. I recall cruising along at the Event site this summer when the wind was getting weak. Being on...

I have had the problem swimming with the palmless mitts because they balloon out into bags of water and sort of act as a bellows to try and pump water into...
FWIW, MM5 shows 20-30MPH in Seattle area with the front passing in the morning ours (10am looks best). What a setup for a weekend! (of course these storms have...
hey Bob, I'm thinking the sandbar off the caboose could set up nicely if this low comes in with the expected punch. do you think the water contamination will...
Adam I wouldn't think the water would have much left after the wind and rain we have experienced. You could check with the Ronald Wastewater District office...
It looks like Purdy will be the right set up with the outgoing tide after 9am. I think that will be the first spot to check out. Browns Point might work but...
I'm not totally sure what they mean by two for one. A trailer is 100 per night up to 2 people( 20 extra for a third person) and a Casita is 150 but it sleeps...

I'm not planning on a pullout. Rig powered and hit it in the morning, and we shouldn't need a pullout. Steve and I did that the last time we had a big storm...
Well, I suppose that does make more sense to do a roundtrip. Actually on the SW, I prefer the waves just off the north end of the bulkhead. If the tide is just...
With the outgoing tide tomorrow, wouldn't Muk have better swell? -- Louis ... From: NW-WINDTALK@yahoogroups.com [mailto:NW-WINDTALK@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
It possibly won't matter where you are tomorrow. The wind should outweigh any tidal effects. RB works very well on outcoming tides. Muks does fine especially...
Any thoughts on tomorrow's better spot? My assumption is Waverly, but with the amount of wind we're getting, Newcastle might be more sailable. Where are people...
