Just a reminder to turn your clocks back one hour tonight before you go to bed.
Windsurfing the Storm
November 2, 2007 by Leave a Comment
A veteran of 24 years of windsurfing and years on the Gorge, Jeff Beck, Seattle professional photographer, windsurfs in the storm of October 18, 2007, off of Lowman Beach Park. The wind was powerful, and Jeff snapped a boom while sailing. 
Photograph by neighborhood windsurfer, Ron Sterling, who lives on the south border of Lowman Beach Park. Ron says "I’m not up the level of windsurfing that 40 mph winds require, but you will see me off Lowman Beach Park just about any day the winds are above 12 mph and below 30. I’ve been at it for two and one-half years."
See picture below of Ron Sterling on a recent 18 mph day off Lowman Beach Park.
Editors note: Thanks to Ron Sterling for sharing his photos and stories with Beach Drive Blog readers. I look forward to his future contributions.

Car Prowlers on Beach Drive
October 31, 2007 by 3 Comments
I just received an email alerting neighbors about an incident that took place around midnight on October 30, 2007. The police were called.
The prowlers may have been driving a white older Mazda sedan and they were looking in cars with flash lights and trying door handles.
This took place around the 5200 block of Beach Drive.
Please remember to lock your car doors and do not leave anything of value inside your vehicle. It also helps to keep your home well lit inside and outside.
If you notice a prowler, call the police ASAP.

Hello Wwwwwwind

Around 1:30, the wind arrived, as if Mother Nature flipped a switch from calm to crazy. Hopefully we keep power or I’ll be blogging (when I can) from my cell phone!
Tides are around 10 feet currently.
According to our local weather station, compliments of the Lipskys, the wind is 27 mph with gusts of 43.
At least it’s sunny out (right now).
