Golfing and Beach Day
Just like a broken record - everyone gathered at Dog River for Coffee and then, after a couple of hours, went across the street to Bette's for Breakfast. It was Sunday morning, (peak time), so they put us in the meeting room in the back - maybe they just wanted us out of the way, and away from the other customers.....

The forecast wan't very good - possibly some sailable, but lite winds late in the day. Most of the guy's went Golfing. They said they would go for 9 holes, but they ended up playing all 18. Big Air Jim said he got lots of exercise driving a golf cart up the hills. There were a few highlights:
- Mike took a big divot - in front of the ball (it was the ball that made the divit - he drove it straight into the ground).
- Eddy shot a personal best on the front nine! (He doesn't want to talk about the back nine..)
- Blaine tried "pre-anger" -- getting mad at the ball before he hit it. IT WORKED!

I asked what else happened - Blaine said "What do you mean - It's Golf - nothing happens..."
Gerry and Julie took in the Hood River Fly-In and toured the museum - impressed by old auto's.
Handre and Lazelle went for a Hike, then sat in the sun at the Event Site.

I had a relaxing day, had my bike tuned at the local shop, and went for an SUP ride at the event site - paddling to the end of the spit and then down to Well's Island and back. Definitely a water ski day (if only I had my boat!).

At the end of the day, a few of us gathered at the event site - to wait for the promised wind. For a a minute it looked like it might blow - it was even enough to entice Bruce Peterson out on his prototype 10.1m sail and 125 litre Roberts - but even a windsurfing god like Bruce couldn't make it work...
