 I am supposed to attend a sea kayak clinic this weekend on the Oregon coast
and the weather is just horrible.  They have 25 foot surf and 75 mph winds
predicted at the headlands. We start on Saturday and the weather is supposed
to be a bit better only an 80% chance of rain and reduced wind.   We will be
practicing rescues, rolling etc at one of our coastal lakes so it will be
pretty safe.  I am trying to talk myself into doing this clinic because it
is exactly the conditions I will need to do a rescue, but.... I am still
trying to psych myself up.  We may do some surf practice in a bay which is
protected by a reef, but there will still be plenty of action. We will also
be camping out of our kayak.  Sigh... I have a really solid Moss tent, and
my drysuit but still I am wavering. -- MZ
