Head's UP for those of you who don't have any plans next weekend!! Cranberry-Oysterville (Long Beach)
Beach has been nice and wide, packed and open, approaches well groomed....and Northwest Wind abundant!!
Here's a peek out Sid Synder Approch (Closed)

This should be an interesting view during Kite Festival (hope we get same area to play in) right in camera view!!
I've also shot a calendar event up to the kind crew at www.funbeach.com and they were happy to post it.
I also have the following weekend (pending) permit 2-4 Aug in the works.
Post a reply if you're coming... Thanks again Morrie and the NAPKA crew for doing what you do!!
ROCK ON!!

What's the condition of the approaches and the beach? We'll be down Friday night!

Cranberry is groomed and graveled almost to the hard-pack. 2WD access should be no problem.
Wide spot on the beach just North of the approach looks like great place for base-camp.

This event was lightly attended. Saturday I was the only flyer with a drive by of crazyherb. Winds were west at 6-8 mph allowing long runs from
cranberry north. Winds dropped of to 4-5 mph early afternoon.
Sunday it was only crazyherb and I. Winds were wsw 8-10 mph for an hour or so before dropping off to 4-6.
Had some good sailing with very few people on the beach.
