Oregon coast is looking good...

[bwd]

Hey anyone up for an Oregon coast trip this week? I'm thinking Oceanside or Manzanita could be good Wed-Fri and then the Gorge looks good for the weekend. Either that or Nitinat, but that doesn't sound nearly as fun. Give me a call if you want to go 889-1351. Gordons looks like it will fire today,

I'd like to hit the Astoria jetties, near the large park (Fort something) - I sailed there a few years ago and it was a great wave riding spot, but it hardly ever goes off (N coast rarely gets wind)...so, get it while it's good

But, I'm stuck in town, working and feeding bottles to a newborn. So, maybe next year.

Cook st is going to go off big on Friday - it will be epic - are you sure that you can risk missing this guaranteed outing?

Good sailing and be watchful of stumpy
