Thought I'd check in with my windsurfing pals on the forum.
We spent the entire winter in the Pacific Northwest--about 2-1/2 months in Portland, and then to Seattle-Tacoma, where we've been since late January but are leaving shortly. What that means is that I'll manage to have spent over half a year in the area and STILL avoided windsurfing at the Gorge.
We obviously didn't go to Bird Island Basin for the spring, but did get news about one of the regulars--he's a guy who lives in northeast Oregon and he and his wife often travel to Bird Island in their motorhome to spend the Spring windsurfing. He's celebrating his 90th birthday this month, and has plans to go to Bird again next Spring. (His wife celebrated her 90th birthday earlier this year.) Way upthread, I talked about taking a census at a windsurfing launch and said, "Lots and lots of old people, too--60s is common, 70s is well represented, and some 80s are out there." I guess I'll have to add 90s to that!
