First 2018 skunked report at Oceanside 2/2/18

First 2018 skunked report at Oceanside: 
Today's breakdown; 

10:00:  Drizzle in Tillamook and more than half of the Sollie mountain under the clouds

10:30: Oceanside launch was socked in, winds 10+ out of WSW at the beach and straight up at launch approx 15 to 18 mph. No rain and still have beach for landing. 

11:00: Still socked in. Winds getting stronger at 20-25 mph SW and starting to rain. 

12:00: Light rain,  no beach for landing, too gusty and too south (SW) at launch. 

4:00: Rain stopped with a bit of sun peaking. Winds dropped down to 0-3 mph straight West; Still very foggy. 

4:30: Launch finally clearing off , was able to see three arch rocks offshore and huge beach for landing.  Unfortunately, no wind at launch. Prepared to setup for a sledder. 

5:00: Changed my mind setting up due to heavy mist rolling in to launch which resulting in no visibility again. 

6:00: Left Oceanside.
