A surprise session.
I left Cranbrook at about 7:00am and drove to Sandpoint, where I stopped at McDonalds for breakfast. As I was leaving the parking lot, Harold W drove past in front of me, and then turned North - away from the Gorge.... WTF.
Anyway, I drove south across the "Long Bridge". The wind was up, there were big waves and white caps. The Forecast for the Gorge wasn't very good - maybe I should stop here and sail.

| City Beach Park Launch Site... |
I gave Harold W a call on his cell. He was thinking of going for a mountain bike ride, but I talked him into going sailing. We looked for a launch site on the south side of the river, but couldn't find one. We ended up at "City Park", which is a beautiful park just outside of down town Sandpoint. There is a great rigging area and a nice launch site. There were a couple of Kiters and two other windsurfers out.
Harold went out on his 5.2, and I was on my 5.6. The wind was a bit gusty, but the water was very clean and warm. Beautiful day. I sailed until about noon, when the wind dropped a bit. Harold (being 50 pounds lighter), sailed a bit later.

At the end of the day, we met up with Blaine at the Condo! Looking forward to everyone else joining us!
