Friday, September 2014-09-12 Al made the news

I don't have any photos, but I did get a short note from Al.  Apparently the sailing Thursday and Friday was excellent with strong East winds at Stevenson.

Al says he was very powered, and that Gerry was making some impressive jumps!

Al also asked me to put this link on the Blog.  Apparently the news of Al's "Awesome Windsurfing Talent" is becoming widely known.  So much so that when they heard Al was going to be in Stevenson, they sent out a news crew.  Here is the link.  Al is the sailor carrying his rig to the water with the Blue Helmet and Naish Board.
