-Well, unfortunately the wind continues to blow about 25 - 30.  There are about 9 of us, and we've done about every run there is to do, with one left; Stevenson to Viento, which we have scheduled for tomorrow.+Well, unfortunately the wind continues to blow about 25 - 30. There are about 9 of us, and we've done about every run there is to do, with one left; Stevenson to Viento, which we have scheduled for tomorrow.
  
-Today, the wind came up early and we did Drano to the Hatchery. ​ The wind kept building as we got closer to Swell City, with good 6 foot waves. ​ I saw on my GPS 13.2, which considering going against the current is pretty speedy. ​ There was one "rogue wave" Gwyn and I got on where we weren'​t sure what was going to happen at the bottom. ​ We both made it out the other side unscathed and un-dunked, luckily.+Today, the wind came up early and we did Drano to the Hatchery.

-Unfortunately,​ once we get up towards Hood River it gets too hot, so we have to keep cooling off by splashing and jumping in the river. ​ I know all you cold-water lovers would hate it.+Unfortunately,​ once we get up towards Hood River it gets too hot, so we have to keep cooling off by splashing and jumping in the river.

-Well, two more days of two-a-days and we'll be ready to come home.  Peter, wish you were here, but I still wouldn'​t loan you my sport.+Well, two more days of two-a-days and we'll be ready to come home. Peter, wish you were here, but I still wouldn'​t loan you my sport.
