Puffins at Sebonac Inlet? The watermen? The birds? Yes to both! With a supermoon high tide and up and down wind (I was on a 5.4 and 93 liters…powered then gagging, powered then gagging) the wingers were on the water first (John Nat and Christian, while Dan had been first and was already derigging) before…

Wind was due E to slightly ESE, and gusty. We alternated from nicely-powered to slogging. Bowl was mostly flat,…

Alec and Jack (my nephews in Oregon) hanging out with the Great Puffin of Portland (or so I shall refer to him.) Alec is a seagull man himself, so I'm glad to see him accepting other seabirds, as Jack's t-shirt recommends. Jack has good taste in all things. Previous niece and nephew sighting at the…
