Gorge 7/2-7/10
Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2005 11:33 am9 for 9 from 3.7 to 6.7 (proving once again how cheap I really am).
Cooler than usual weather, but mostly just small gear planers from The Wall
to the Hackery, though not all on the same day. The tribe was out in force
with Danger D, Sharon, The Rock Star, Gunnars, The Gear Queens, Melinda,
George, and guest appearances by Trip and Judy Houk, Ken Onstott, and Tom Whitkey. You know it must be summer when you see more Utah sailors
in the Gorge than you do at Sulfur.
The forecast for no wind most of the week kept the crowds way down for
many a fine 4.7 day. When I walked off the beach Sunday with a tear
and a smile, it was 4.7 again (though I had ridden my new 6.7 early).
Next up, it's Tiki Party Time, look for a Scorpion imbibing Rat fest
around the end of the month. ;*)
