Hey great links Trevor, we should get MikeS to add them to his nwwind site... he is already screen scraping Tripcheck for the Fremont bridge.

No Problem. Can you see if MikeS can make is WAP enabled so we can check with our cell phones? It would be cool, to check when out at Sauvies what the current 1-5 and I-405 bridges are doing.

Jeez what do you think I do all day, I've gotta get on the water too. Oh wait I just did, frickin 30+ in the Ham today, had to dust off the ol 4.7 and did some pole shmurfin. My 8m would've been too scary, huge holes and gusts

So yea, the tripcheck links are cake, I'll get on adding them, actually I have Kelso, Troutdale, Rooster, and Seaside and Astoria (not sure it's the same stations).

I started WAP but got a little burned out on banging my head against the wall learning new stuff, now it's been a few weeks and I've been on the water a bunch so my brain is clear. Plus a Gorge trip is due so I better get on it, just so I don't go crazy wonderin what if....

For the Astoria reading, I think it's best to use the Desdemona sensor as the best indication of the sailability up there.

(which happens to be reading a tastey 14-16 right now)

Regard my post about the Desdemona station being the best for South Jetty, I guess it's only the best for winds out of the East. Better to look at the Clatsop spit reading for NWs or Dr. Sloths killer Sunset site.
