Jeepster Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Well, we're not 129 miles from the beach, so probably won't be there this afternoon when the wind hasn't come up. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcom714 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Well......I didn't just arrive at the Shorebreak and I'm not eating breakfast on the terrace. I certainly won't be meeting up with the Pittmans, The Fosters and various and sundry others to not fly kites on the south side of the pier. BTW, the weather isn't any good and the forecast is not crappy.....AT ALL!!!!!!! CYA IN THE SAND!!!!!!!!!!! or not!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Foster Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Good flying at Huntington this afternoon. Had nine flying together until the wind got way too strong just after 4 pm. We'll hit it again about 10 am tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepster Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Spent half the morning searching the South side of the pier for Rev fliers ... seems they are directionally challenged ... they were on the North side of the pier. Beautiful day on the beach ... Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forecast for today.....more good friends and more good breezes!!!!!!!!!!! Room with a view... Calm before the party!!!!!! Mike MacDonald (flew Revs all day), Jim & Lynn, Carol & Cass and Tom...

portlandflyer Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Ok, I pulled up the feed and what? NO Kites!!! Sunbathers - yes, fliers - no!!! And another thing - wasn't the cam set from a different vantage point last year? I remember it pointing onshore from near the tall building out on the pier!! Where's everyone at??? WAH!!!

portlandflyer Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 OKAY, I've calmed down - some!! If I see the flag on that bigger building blowing correctly, it looks like a wsw or so wind, putting you south of the pier!! Looks like too many bathers on the beach to use the north side!!

Aerochic Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Where's everyone at??? WAH!!! I knowwwww, Wayne! There used to be 2 webcams on that beach, one pointed toward town and the other at the beach and ocean. It doesn't seem like the town view cam is around anymore. Sadly there really aren't any other good cams on that spot now. I am very disappointed not to be able to watch the fun this year. ~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks for the cooool pics Rich! SO wish I could not be out there right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
