Sweet, that sounds like a perfect chance to test paddle my new kayak.  What time do you want to meet up?  I'm thinking a nice unprotected beach break would be best.

Sounds fun guys... I need to get a wetsuit or something, so I can tag along next time and learn how to rock fish!

How about 3am? Nothing like a dark launch into angry water...

ahh my boat can take that....21 ft seas and raining....no sweat lol

I'm thinking that I should launch here in Portland tomorrow morning, paddle down the Willamette and then the Columbia.  I should make it to Astoria by late evening and over the bar around sunset.  From there I'll paddle down to  Tillamook Head by 3 am Saturday to meet the you Jay.

Brian, I'll be on VHF 69 if you're running late 

Oh Wait, I have to work on Saturday. I guess I'll have to meet you out there another day....good luck!!!!

feelin salty today
