BWD Oregon Coast Bi-Windsport Wave Camp 2015

[C36]

Looks like this years early season heat meant our timing was a bit tardy. Anyone thinking of chancing a round 2 later on this summer?

Yes. Summer or Sept/Oct (try'n to coordinate with Tsawwassen). I am leaning toward the fall (easier on the family and not much wind on the Mainland then).

Flo only (no interest in another Gorging getting melted n gooned on the water......) and only if on obviously, July 16- Aug 1.

It sounds like the entire group is heading back down....on Saturday

[Johnnyman]

That's awesome Dave. I'm off till the 16th so I'm good to go if the boys are coming back!
Thinking of entering the Newport downwinder with you. What do you think of doing it tandem with me. Kinda nervous of doing it by myself.

[bwd]

Of course I'm joking about everyone coming back as soon as you leave...but it does look like it's setting up again all next week. No Newport for me this wkd I seem to have pooched my back.

Thanks for the great trip photos everyone

and here I thought you appreciated my positive and magnetic personality and good taste in fine beer and designer flip flops

17 sailing sessions, 13 days, 4 destination areas, 3000km, massive carbon footprint unfortunately but making the most of this at times stressful trip! The swell wasn't huge but at least we got some of what "used to be" and decent winds. The heat was a challenge for man, machine and beast alike! As bwd says it is setting up for my 2 week'er, might be hitch hiking for it or behind a tow truck but a day on the O coast is worth 500 days elsewhere believe it! Life is short, plan it now, do it ASAP, no regrets

C36, Law, Windoctor, Eastside, and any other photographer who has been missed. Very nice photos. Huge shout out to all of you for taking the time to bring those sites home. Thanks. Oh yeah, and those ubber sailors and SUPers too. (Wow, spell check had a hay-day on this post! Glad I checked.)
