8/24 Jordanelle 12M

[Kenny]

Last Friday, I drove to Heber and borrowed a kite from Billy. It looked like DC would go off. Drove up and chatted with Ralph for an hour or so. Checked the indicator and the wind had dropped. Looked like a skunk. Drove back to Heber and gave Billy back his kite. As I was headed towards Jordanelle, I noticed the trees bending with wind from the north. I asked Billy for Ralph's number, but then saw that Ralph was right in front of me. Water was whitecapping, so I went out on a 12m foil. Ralph somehow held down a Zephyr. Wind was up and down, but strong for Jordanelle. Rode for a couple hours before packing it up. Wind was still going strong when we left around 4:30.
