    A fun day. Gusty, foggy, sunny and a bit choppy. Finally nailing some tricks on the inside and a few half decent vulcan attempts. Finally getting the boomerangs. Great to sail with the Teachman clan.

    The wind was up and down. Unfortunately I had a later commitment(should be committed for having the commitment), so came in early. Very mellow, though the wind had some decent lift in the gusts. All in all, a nice sunny afternoon.

    Did the afternoon shift, as had plans later. Odd day. Wind was punchy and wierd, then fun, then strange (WNW) , then great as I packed up and watched.. Full Frontal, not thermal, and I wish I could have stayed out longer. Lost the kite - reminder: get new Punch Out bar with spinning leash. THanks to Jan, the kite was saved, and to Colin for towing me in :!:

    Arrived at 2:45, blowing 8-9kts...rigged up while talking to Shark Bait. As I rigged it came down to 6-8kts....was capping farther out....thought maybe...' By 3pm I was on the water and it was 4-6kts....stayed a nice and steady 4-6 for 30 mins before it dropped to almost nothing...good thing the tide wasn't going too quick.

    Nice and relaxing sailing in warm sunshine. A pretty good workout holding up the 11m sail......all is good. Just buying time until the Big Nitinat Trip on Wednesday!! Yehaw!!! :)

Had a lot of Fun, given that the wind kept you guessing. Lots of windsurfers - had to jump one at one point :wink: Sunny, warm, and windy. Can't ask for much more as a kiter :D All kiters off the water at 7:10 - more than 2 hours before sunset! and it was still windy! shame on us...

    OK, that wasn't the best day at all.

    Came down to the beach and it was blowing full 4.5. Rigged up and it died of a little. OK my though, let's take a big board with 4.5, no biggy. On the way out it felt quite light, on the way in it felt damn no power what so ever. So here I am hooked in front foot in the strap pumping with the back hand and suddenly BOOM I hit a damn stick. Got catapulted, mast hit the nose and that was it for my big board.

    So I rushed back rigged up 5.5 and stayed misarably happy i ... (more)

I sailed in a seat harness for the first time with the 8.5 rig instead of a waist harness. Not bad. Around 4:15 it dropped right off but then immediately started to get windier…..whitecaps came up everywhere….so I came in for a rest and rigged the 6.9. Then Kus from Victoria shows up?

    Missed the 25-30 stuff, 5.8 was nice in the gusts, coulda used 7.5 happily much of the time. Really up and down and windiest for about 10 m strip beside the beach. Made 1/2 jibes or less, but most in gusts. A few nice powered runs, but mostly gust, pump, plane, droop, slog, repeat. Good turnout!
