Today it blew like crazy...

Wow, check out those peaks. Over 40 mph.
Dan and I got down to the beach a little after 2. According to the graph the wind had come down a little, the peaks were only about 30 as opposed to over 40.

As you can tell from Dan's glasses it's the day after St. Patrick's Day. The plan today was to pump up the Best 10 and share it between us. Thanks Markus for taking a few shots with your iPhone today.
Everything was great on paper except Dan forgot the input valve for his kite so we had to improvise and hold a substitute by hand. It worked, but wasn't perfect.
After Dan I got Dan's kite in the air I ran home and got Ruth's camera and took a few shots. Here I'm hiding behind the lifeguard tower trying to get away from the flying sand.
As you can see from this shot Dan got out and had a good time for a while. Then all of a sudden his kite was in the waves and eventually on the sand. We dragged the sandy, wet mess up to our camp and Dan borrowed a kite from Henry and went out again. I was fine taking some pix.
At the end of the day we all had fun. Actually this whole week has been awesome because I was able to kite for the next four days in a row. FUN, FUN, FUN!!!
