He wears a black wetsuit, a black harness with a red trim and an olive-green helmet. Both hands hold the boom of a black and white sail with red lettering. His board floats at the left edge of the frame, and the sail fills the upper half of the picture. ## Dates and sources - Daniel's account: "I am the windsurfer holding the boom." He files this photo as Gorge windsurfing from the healing years, when he and Angelina worked through the Life Skills small group with Dr. Paul Hegstrom to get mentally healthy for each other. He calls those years the foundation for what came next. - The image file carries an embedded camera date of Jul 6, 2009. That is the camera's date for this photo. It does not date when he began windsurfing or when the healing years started or ended. - The frame has no sign or landmark. "Columbia River Gorge" is Daniel's account of the place, not something the picture proves. ## Why it belongs on the trail Daniel's account is that these were the years he and Angelina got healthy for each other, and that the later work stood on that ground.
