Boom left behind at Northwave's launch site

A Fiberspar boom was left at our loft's front door last weekend.
If you know of someone who may be looking for theirs and may have sailed from here last weekend, have them come by and identify it.

Thanks,

Thanks for letting us know that you found a boom at your loft, but on a side note is it really your launch site too? Didn't CGWA create and maintain that launch and parking lot all of last season?

Thanks

I never actually sailed from there but would stop by to take a look at the water. The new no trespassing..private property signs littering the area sure make their point. I assumed the Port was responsible?! What's the deal. Seems like an opportunity to engage the sailing community that is being wasted by Northwave?

The Port of Hood River and Luhr-Jensen have again granted public access to the launch ramp at Luhr-Jensen with the caveats this year that you must park and rig on the gravel strip to the west of the paved parking area. There is no parking permitted for windsurfing use in the paved parking lot. The signs will be changed this week to reflect this. Please also pack out your trash.

This is the CGWA at work here, so if you are not a member, and launch from this site (or any other Gorge site) please consider a $25 membership to help the CGWA keep our river access points open.
