Git it while the gittins' good
Why isn't anyone posting on one of the windiest weeks of the year? WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?
I was out last night at Club Med and learned once again how nasty that new hotel is. It casts a wind shadow for kilometers down the beach. Anyway... things couldn't have been better... I just stayed at the end of the beach north of the hotel. That water is incredibly flat in an ENE wind. Thanks to a few changes including copying Dave's footstrap set up... lowering my harness so it doesn't ride up (I can't believe I was too dumb to try this earlier)...and of course Mateo's patience in the last few weeks with getting me launched and rescued... I finally felt like I had the hang of it. I could leverage my weight against the kite better, the board was responding, I was zipping upwind easily, getting off the water.... aaaah... I think I'll go out again tonight.
... start posting more posts... remember... 8 more days until the new hotel opens... club med's last days!
