A day is great when you can kite with you son.

Saturday was our Easter get together at the Corbett family. Making hard boiled eggs and the whole nine yards. At one point my youngest son Dan was hanging with me on the front porch and I said "Let's take a walk down to the beach to see how the wind is doing." We were sitting on the wall on Ocean Blvd. when Juliano, Juliana and Ana drove up. We all sat on the wall and chatted for a while and then decided to set-up camp near the water. They went and got their gear, and so did we.

Getting together on the beach is a time to catch up on what's happening in every one's lives.

Juliano started with a story about launching his kite on floating dock on an island in Brazil.

Todd and Dan listened with interest.

Then Todd tells about a kite adventure on his recent trip to Samoa. His life flashed before his eyes.

Ana got to tell her kite story and we were all hanging on her every word.

Bobby and Henry's story is that they are both going on a diet. Bobby has already dropped a pant size. Henry wouldn't admit what his plan is, but one is going to be the biggest looser. It's a race.

Everyone is convinced that the wind is coming up. And they are right.

Dan is ready. He's going out on a 12 meter because that's all I had for him. He also took my big board. He did great and may come back to the beach tomorrow and borrow a 14 if the wind blows.

At the end of the day it was fun kiting with my kid. Sure it could have been a little more intense, or it could have blown longer, but who cares because we got out there and there were not accidents.
