Seaside/Gearheart downwinders Friday & Sat

It appears the forcast is calling for "the super nuclear butter" down at the Northern Coast. Actually, it probably will be more like churned butter as the wind and waves are forecasted to be strong and big. Would stay in P-town, but the forecast for wind appears very questionable. Hope to have some company out on the waves down at Seaside/Gearheart. If anyone wants to try a downwinder, definately game, but it take two cars (can drive on the beach in this area). Plan on sailing Friday and Sat.

I was thinking about riding Sunset Beach on Saturday, forcast looks promising, bordering on burly, gusts to 35. Better be riding early!
