Hoping someone is out there to buddy up a shuttle run. We'll be at sunset around 11:30.
If not the first run maybe second run?
We may just drop 2 kiters at sunset. Run the shuttle down 4 miles then rig and run to shipwreck, having the other 2 run the shuttle to shipwreck, if we only have one vehicle.
Hope to see some out there.

It's Sunday 8:30am
Will it blow today? I'll come out from PDX if you all are going !?
The forecast does not look good, what is your recommendation?

The forecast is good at 12 to 5. High teens Low 20s from south. Here now looks about 15mph.

Good time. wind was 18 building to 25mph. Waves were overhead to double overhead. one of the crew had a mint condition 8m cabrinha switchblade get swallowed and spit out in a pretty good oversize set on the outside break.
It is amazing how fast you can disappear in the ocean. I saw him behind me on one tack the next tack I couldn't spot his flourescent yellow kite even knowing where it should be. We searched for him for about ten minutes before dragging him in unharmed and then his shredded kite.
