Did anyone sail in the reported high winds on the west coast on Monday? I
heard on the weather channel of gusts to near 100 MPH! The storm looked
like a Noth'easta like we get on the east coast...all wound up and ready
to strike a second time.

No, I didn't get out Monday (yesterday), but some friends did, Kayak Point.
Where are you sailing?

Jb,
I had to watch the kids while Laura taught her dance class here where we
live in Pistol River, on the Ore. coast, but I sat with my boards on car
and my 4.5 quivering on the inner harbor of Gold Beach, wishing I had a
baby sitter. It was 20-plus feet and very scary just over the sandbar out
the mad Pacific but inside the harbor provided fun flatout zipping, about
200 yard reaches before you got into the middle of the mightly Rogue River
with it's strong current propelled by 5 inches of rain in the past 3 days.
You'd have to jive in the middle of the river current, and if you blew it
you'd be down and sucked out into the huge ugly storm surf just outside
the river jetty. You think shark thoughts are good for fast waterstarts.
This tops that any day.

Tried. Pillar Point was 30+ when I left home, dead when I got there (around
11:00 am). The front blew through real fast.

I tried to sail Lake Washington (Seattle, WA, USA) on Monday.

I left work at about noon for Newcastle Beach. It was blowing pretty good,
one guy was out and getting hammered with 5.0m. E***d, I drove home,
loaded up and went back to the beach (30 minutes max).

It was nearly dead calm. ??!!

I talked to the lucky guy who was sailing for about 45 minutes. (Sunshine,
60+ degrees (F), 0 wind.) Feeling guilty about the mounting pile of work, I
drove home, unloaded, changed clothes, and went back to work. When I arrive
at the office (maybe 30 minutes after leaving the beach) I can see swells and
white caps on the lake from my office. It looked like it blew pretty solid
the rest of the day.

My non-sailing spouse, who observed this from a neutral viewpoint, wondered
aloud why I like this sport. I had to explain (again) that being teased by
nature is part of windsurfing's charm.

Hi Don, have you considered leaving your gear loaded, with the proper
atire left in your vehicle. This is the only way I can maintain my sanity.
I just bail when the wind blows, and then come back to work when it stops,
or I'm burned out. This has made for a number of "till 1 am workdays", but
hey, it's a good trade.
