Awesome day at La Ventana

[Rob Richey]

El Norte has finally returned (after a 2 week absence) - sailed 4.7 on my RRD FSW 102 - sunny, warm, perfect! Come on down!

Bob, or shall I start calling you Rob,

It's good to see you post here, glad you made it all the way down to LaVentana, hope you continue to
have good wind, and your trip is free from incident. I'll be back in HR May 23rd, hope to see you then.

-Craig

Thanks Craig! Yup, I'll be back in 'da Gorge this summer - same routine. Probably crash at Roosevelt 1st week in June - then head for HR by mid-June.

Rob/Bob/Robby-Bob/Bobby-Rob/Roberto/etc etc ... whatever - no matter!

Hope your'e having a great winter in the "Promised Land". Finally warming up down here after a cooler than usual Dec-Jan. I've been wearing my full 4/3 steamer the last 7 weeks - never needed it in prior years. Global cooling?

See 'ya this summer!

Hey Bob, Good to hear that you are getting some wind. And just to make you feel even better, I had to snow blow about 8 inches of snow out of my driveway, at 7am to even get to work. I'm looking forward to spring......We are not sure of our Gorge dates yet, but I'm sure we will see you there, and look forward to it! TAKE SOME RIDES FOR ME! Sarah

Yo Sarah! Thanks for reminder of why I head south in the winter!

You guys need to hurry up and retire to LV with all the other "gainfully un-employed" windsurfer/kiteboarder dudes! What a great place! Your trailer is perfect for the CG - and, there's even water (non-potable) hook-up for showers, etc. You can just leave it down here year-round and not have to tow back-and-forth. Guarantee you will absolutely love it!

See you in 'da Gorge!
