Oregon Wavemonger, Trip #4
Oregon Wavemonger, Trip #4
The August doldrums are here and apart from some puddle sailing it is time for family camping and home/RV maintenance. What keeps my stoke going is the hope for a week of "getting blown off the water" Florence in September when also hopefully the larger swells return.
This is also a good time to pick up some winter gear ordered up and take advantage of Hood River sales as well. Days are a little cooler for mountain biking. The beer selection is always great and lateron Oyster and Salmon harvesting can add some spice.
Targets for me are a week or 10 days (or maybe 3 weeks
) of sun and wind after the school year resumes and after Sept 4th. My guess is we are going to see the summer arrive/resume in September and into October this year given we had no June 
I see Kevin is planning to head down, is anyone else interested
The more the merrier

Next week looks absolutely wicked for Florence (so far, long range forecast).
Swell, wind, sun, probably some fog. Bit of a heatwave coming in a week too. The lake will be good for some kiting then still!
Thinking leaving Sunday or Monday night if it builds more. Oz? Kevin? Anyone else?
EDIT: hmmm, forecast dropping, down to 50% chance now

Another wicked 4-5 day-er aborted 
today If anyone has the time, central Coast will give you all you could ever ask for the next few days.....great swell, big period, fog then sun, 20-25+ every day.....DAMN 
how can life be so freakin' busy even when I am not working....too bad the ferry now only runs twice daily
Remember this for next year: There were at least 4 September central coast windows of 3-5 days at a time.
