7/21 to 8/6 Gorge 3.7 to 6.2

[Sarah Ranes]

Used the full range of sails and both boards again, for 17 days in the Gorge. I think we had 2 really hot days in there that were not sailable, for us with a 6.2. The rest was great sailing. We ended up at the Hackery, and Dougs the most, a few days at the Wall and Maryhill. 4.7 and 4.2 got used the most .
IT was fun having so many Utes on the River. It was Really Fun to get to sail an exceptionalally good daywith John F at the Hackery. Couldn't believe that he wanted to stop sailing to pee. I told him to "just pee in your suit, you can wash it later." Wow, what a day, I was worn out. I hope the holes in his hands have healed. I'm not sure if he will ever want to sail with me again, but I hope so.
Can't wait to go back! Sarah

The holes in my hands have started to heal, the swelling in my knee has begun to subside, the blister on my foot is just about gone, and I have invested in a catheter so I will be able to keep up with Sarah, if she'll let me sail with her again.... the day at the hatch with Sarah may have been one of the best ever! Thanks Sarah! That was really fun!
