Calvert Cliffs Sat 9-5

Post by garys »

Looks like a promising strong NE day this Sat. and I will be at the Bay for the weekend so I am dragging the glider along for the ride. I will take down the couple of locust trees at launch. Any interest?

Low tide Sat is 2:52 PM so I am thinking it might just work.

I'll help with the trees Gary. What's a good time to swing by?

I will be there by 11:00 tomorrow. I can bring a glider for you to fly if you want me to.

ok, I will bring rope and some hand saws, see you there at 11. Thanks for the glider offer Gary, but probably getting back to you too late to work that out... no worries though, kinda thinking of some non-flying plans tomorrow.... able to help launch though, at least for a while. cheers!

Wasn't soarable at Gary's Beach, so no-one missed out on a good day. Gary was the man, climbing down a ladder which we had anchored to a tree, chiansaw in hand, while I belayed. He took out the trees that had grown up just in front/below launch, about a third of the way down the cliff. We had the equipment to get it done, declared victory, and then headed to Stony's for amazingly-fresh rockfish sandwiches. Yum!
