In the OTHER Gorge on the Columbia, 30 miles inland from the ocean. The two launches there are Jones Beach (OR) and Nuclear Alley (WA). When Hood River starts hitting 110 and calm in late summer, Ive camped at Jones Beach for 10 days at a time a few summers, sailing from mid-day to flat DARK on small sails every day, in temps 30 degrees cooler than Hood River. Its the finest BEACH on the Columbia (a mile of pure sand), flatter water than the Gorge, far steadier wind than the Gorge, and sometimes the only good wind in WA or OR. Downsides? Water pollution, antagonistic local rubes, and that mile of sand.
