Just got word from Discover Paragliding. If it's clear (no fog) I'll look for them on the beach at 9:30. If it's foggy, flying's a no-go and I'll catch up with you guys in Manzo.

Maybe post where you all end up and if you're on the beach and if the flight is quick I'll high tail it down to Manzo.

Bill (Canuck) is gonna shoot me your address. If there's no paragliding I'll come find you in Manzo. Going to peer down the Sunset approach at 9:30 and if they're there we're going, if they're not, I'll head south. Hood River isn't gonna blow so I'm on the coast for the rest of the week, will head out Thursday evening for some shopping in Hood River.
