Epic Gorge Day - Stoke Proclaimed

A snap of a sailor from the Hatch.

What does stoke proclamation mean to me? It means a session of windsurfing in 30 mph average wind. Then when out of the water wanting to do it all over again.

Every year I imagine how the first day of the season might be. My mind conjures a stiff breeze (20 mph) and not-so-frigid water . But when the Gorge turns on, I will not be sitting on the sidelines.

Below is the wind graph. I was sailing at the peak of the day, something that usually only occurs in my fevered imagination.



I am thankful for such an excellent day!
