Wind vs. Snow

Post by Bobson »

:shock: I'm going for a drive to check both beaches :idea: . I'll be back at 9:30am with an update. If you want to chat, call me on my cell(858-7847) That hot tub sounds pretty inviting after Freeze-fest. I'm guessing this weather will cut down on family involvement unless the soccer game changes to a snowman building contest...HA! :shock:

Yes thanks to all the organizers, especially Bobson, Rick and Pat. A great day - good food, drink, fire, friends and nice kite rescue by Starboard Steve and Grant&Kendra. I vote that next year be a 25 knot, 15 degree SE instead,

I concur, that chilli and hot chocolate really hit the spot :P while waiting for the wind to return 8) The baked goods filled up the tank in a hurry too, awesome!

Must try the hyperdemonic some other time, Bobson, couldn't hang around any longer due to blue feet. :? Maybe later today? It may shape up again for another white finger day!

Appreciate the rides on the Hifly, Ruskie, nice comfy board!

MF4 thanks to your wife for the goodies at the apres, I look forward to borrowing those DVD's! We should do a pirate swap when I get some :wink:
