Great to see the flurry of posts and the excitement/numbers growing!
Morewind:
Thanks for the oracle refresher (you saved me looking through the 2012 thread)!
Sorry you won't be there next week.
I enjoyed sharing the experience in the past, always appreciated your encouraging words, and look forward to sharing again in the future!

TheLaw: Won't the Delica (and Windsurfish
) be disappointed at being left behind?

I really enjoyed sharing sessions at Flo on the way back on a couple of trips and would appreciate posts on what peoples 'next stop' is on the way down and on the way back. ![Cool 8)](https://cdn.bigwavedave.ca/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Sold the Delica last year and the Explorer turned out to be pretty small last year. I am going for comfort this year! I hear these Uhaul vans really jump well in the sand dunes so that will be fun...obviously I have to put on the paddle tires first.
See you in HR on Friday. Hopefully the rain stops

try this,
http://weather.unisys.com/gfs/index.php?r=us
click on the picture of the pressure gradient maps, and then click through the days in advance until you realize how much time has just been wasted...

So if I understand Morewind's tutorial, things are still looking good (starting about Sunday - "4 days" out).

that's it
One thing I forgot to mention. The dates on the panels are grenwich(sp?) time, which is ahead of us by 7 or 8 hrs, depending on time of year. So, a panel marked with 12Z SAT (noon grenwich), would actually be 5am on the west coast (noon minus 7 hours). To my eye, it looks good from Sun to at least Thurs. The gradient suggests a nukin' Pistol on Sun and Mon ! Pack yer small stuff ![Twisted Evil :twisted:](https://cdn.bigwavedave.ca/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Well ... if it were me, I'd drive the extra 2 1/2 hrs to Pistol. The tight gradient lines have backed off over the last 2 days, and are concentrated over the OR/CA border. Plus, pistol and the cape have a way shorter walk the water, good for those of us with shaky hipsKUS wrote:Flo is as far as I'm going mike, any thought on that?
