I'm sitting in a restaurant in el Rosario right now before heading out to go to punta San Carlos. I will send you the pictures I took when I get back from this trip. Thanks again the photos are great.
Your most welcome Joe! Enjoy PSC! I'll look forward to seeing your shots of Cape and PSC when you come home.

Hey Dave, so you're
finally done! Thanks for all the galleries and the great session logs! It was great sharing the experience with you!! I'm already looking forward to next year but in the meantime I'm reliving the stoke through your photos. You captured some great moments!
Your very welcome for the pictures and sharing the adventure - it was a truly awesome trip! Now I`m done. The "odessey" (as Chuck called it) has drawn to a close.
S34 – windsurf – Swell City (July 4) Loosen up. Slept at Wind Mountain Pete`s campsite atop Wind Mountain and enjoyed the subset and sunrise views. Thanks Pete! Then off the Swell City for a little session to loosen up the body (took a big hit to left leg an left arm getting hammered by a torquey gust exiting a gybe, so time to get right back at it. Got rock star parking right up front and had a solo session. Steadier wind than last night (so I took out the 92 this time), but flatter water and a header going out that limited jumping opportunities. Always a nice way to start the day!

SlideshowS35 – windsurf – Doug`s Beach (July 4) On, off, on again. After a few errands in town I headed off to Doug`s Beach. It looked way steadier and more swell then yesterday. I took my time getting set-up to allow the swell some time to build and poof – it went from solid mid-three`s to nothing! Never seen that before so waited for the rebound and it did happen, but soon after there was some north in it so it made jumping outbound difficult and turned it into a bit of a point feast. Time to head off to Rufus to see if I can find Wind Mountain Pete (WMP).

SlideshowS36 – windsurf – Rufus (July 4) Swell. Rufus had big swell and that`s what I like – big swell (quote adapted from "Hard Winds a Blow'n")! Saw Wind Mountain Pete`s van from the highway so pulled up next to it and got rigged (4.0/74) and took to the water looking for WMP. Bumped into Cash and found there was some nice, big clean rolling swell (the best I have seen in the Gorge on this trip so far). WMP said, “Finally a real Rufus day!” Now that was fun! Third time lucky!
That makes 36 sessions (that number has a nice ring to it) in 16 days. It has been an incredible trip and we were on quite a roll! That is likely it for me as Tuesday is a travel day. Then again I am staying out at Mary Hill State Park so a morning splash and dash might happen!
