12 days...2 very small sessions. Thanks for all that tried to point me in the right direction. The 2 days that it blew the strongest I had weddding stuff to take part in. I got a session at Indian Rocks beach on Monday afternoon. It the wind was blowing 18-22 out of the south and I debated rigging my 16m or my 13m. I rigged the 16 and felt well powered, but couldn't stay up wind. Seemed the south to north current was too strong to stay up wind. Is that current typical? I ended up doing a mile and a half downwinder and walking back.
Can't wait to come back and kite in some of that butter smoothe water at Skyway and Desoto...in warm sun. It's a nice place you all live in.
Back in Seattle. 38 degrees. Booties, hood, gloves, 5mL, chop, waves, numb fingers, addicted.
