Yeah, the radar doesn't look AS bad for Eugene as it does for Portland.
36 degrees air up here ... forecast around 40 down there. Water should be low 40's by now - hopefully not still 39!
I'd be interested in the water temp if you do get out. |

| sorry I could'nt be there today, but I have to work the normal day shift. Are any of you going to Mt.Ashland this weekend? someone posted that Florence waters are shark-infested. Is it true? If so, I'd rather go to a redneck bar and count my losses. |

That shark research site says there was one whiteshark windsurfer attack on the pac coast in CA. Apparently he slowed down and the shark caught the board & the guy fell onto the shark! 
I twintips don't look much like seals so we're good there - unless it just wants to grab you while you're swimming in! |
