On Friday I was seriously thinking about going down for the weekend of ice cold Stevenson Easterlies but then I remembered this list of things I needed to do...
Did meet a Seattle area sailor at Stevenson on Sunday, but he'll speak for himself if he chooses I guess. Big weekend in the Gorge; lotsa east wind, cold air,...
Sorry, somehow a space got in at the end. The last part needs to be .pdf . One way to stop this would be to stop buying geoducks( gooy- ducks), but they are...
Very slow start for the first two weeks of Vela's operation in Los Barriles. I knew it would be marginal this early in the season, but didn't expect it to be...

Hi, all. My wife and I have airline tickets to PV the last week in December. For a number of reasons, mostly work related, we never developed an itinerary for...
Gary, If you literally mean spring, as in after March 21, do not expect much if any wind in the cape region. Vela in LB shuts down early March due to rapidly...
Understood. Actually, we're going first week of Feb. The way this Fall has been going, that'll feel like spring, I'm sure. ________________________________ ...
