Saturday: Siletz Bay - 30mph West-South-Westerlies in the morning decreasing to 20mph in the early afternoon (lots of flat water!)

The T-storm forecast isn't good tho.

Drop the gay Wii controllers and bag of chips, grow some balls and come kite on Fern Ridge tomorrow , even if it's cold. It is always worth it once you've got your kite in the air, board on the water, back where they belong. Plus a new spot always adds to the fun. PM for carpool arrangements, I'm shooting to be there around 10 am.

There is also a large grass lawn to roll the kites up on, as well as a dry place to change. Can I make it ANY EASIER?? http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=44.114397,-123.308702&spn=0.010861,0.015857&t=h&z=16&om=1    fern-ridge.JPG  Spike Since 13 May 2007 1414 Posts Alameda Spelling Expert Mon Jan 07, 08 7:14 pm    01-08-08 skipping syllabus day and going to the Siletz tomorrow. West-South-West wind in the upper teens, high tide so lots of knee-deep flat-water. We'll be there around 9am. temp is gonna be pretty warm too, almost 50°F! We'll see all of you there.
