The forecast was for early sailing at Stevenson. Gerry and Ted got up early and were at Bob's Beach by 7:00 - yes AM. Unfortunately, the forecast was optimistic. We sat in the sun and watched the what wind was there slowly drop off. Two "Formula Guy's" showed up - excited because they usually don't get to practice in low wind.... even with their Formula Boards and 11m sales - they couldn't get going.
Some of the guy's went for a bike ride - and came back dripping wet - exhausted from a long ride in the 92 degree temperatures.
Late in the day the wind switched to Westerlies. We all went to the Hatchery. It looked sailable (barely) and Jim thought he would give it a go..... He rigged an 8m sail on his big board.
He actually got planing (sort of). Gerry, Kent and Harold all got "suckered" out - and did nothing but swim. Kent was the smart one - he just drifted around in the bay. Harold went for quite a swim and ended up down at Kodiak point...
Jim - Styling - showing off he Technique in the "Big Winds"
Blain and Brad - Impressed with all the action on the water!!
Jim actually got Planing!
Harold Holding down his sail in the big winds - ready to go out!
Kent - swimming in!
Beer anyone? 
Another Great Day!After the "Sailing Session" I drove to Portland to pick up Spencer.
When we got home - Andreas and Jordan demonstrated their Street Luge machine.
A few of us tried it out. We are all supposed to tell Louise that Spencer DID NOT TRY IT!!, but he says it was fun.
