House guest. Had a 9 am reservation but made a delayed 8 am sailing at 8:30. Bonus 45 minutes as the 9 am was delayed by about 15 minutes! Saw orcas from the ferry and an elk in Youbou! Ethan was impressed by the elk! Road is was pretty sooth considering all the Highway 4 detour traffic that had been using it. Arrived about 1 pm to solid wind and a daytripper parked in our campsite. Had lunch and then took to the water ' me windsurfing (4.5/92) and Ethan kitting (9 m/SB). I thought Ethan was going to have too much and I was going to have too little, but we were both pleased! Nice! Ethan 's jumps are getting higher (just board, no bar), he got a few nice long rides switch and some nice swell slashes! Just like riding a bike. Water seemed fresh at first (even with a full summer suit). After several tries I managed to squeak out a wet carve 360 ' first on the 92! But struggled with my tacks in the puffy shoreline wind and chop/swell on either side. Enough power (even on the wave gear) to sail up to the river mouth. Riley took to the water just the fog was drawing down the lake. Sunset dinner on the beach. Wind blew into the dark. Some said frontal, but my guess was high temps on the eastside of the island were still pulling. Boats out fishing on the lake after dark. Dark, quiet night. A day well spent!
