Columbia Beach was happening today!

General discussions about the weather, incoming storms and swell, complaining, why is it always so windy at night etc.

Columbia Beach was happening today!

Post by TURTLE »

I am still a rookie and this was my 2nd time in the ocean, as opposed to a lake, and I loved it.

The wind I was told was about 25 kts when I went in about 6:45pm and the current was certainly more than I was used to. No water hazards and it is a good place for a beginner like me because there is lots of room to walk up the rocky beach should one be blown down wind.

I walked up the beach twice before I became accustomed to fighting the current and the wind.

:P Way to go Turtle. No looking back now! A lot of 'experienced' sailors missed a good session by the sounds of things!
Thermals are good.
