Got a call from Mark this morning that they were headed out SF Bay, bound for Eureka. All systems were go and they had a hearty breakfast after a restful night's sleep so they are ready to face the northern California and Oregon coasts...

Stay tuned, more news as they check in with me. Cell coverage is not as great as on the central and southern coast so we may not hear from them until Eureka.

No wind here in Hood River... time to go paddling. The Gorge Games are happening this weekend so we all get to go out and PLAY!
