That wind was totally psycho - it would go from 8 mph to 30+ and back in just a few seconds - my 7m fuel was making really weird shapes, float backwards and then zoom off. At one point you could sail due west to Maryhill.

I got a really late start on sunday and headed to the airport. It felt like Sauvie's on a bad day. Launch, get in the channel and die, float, swim, float, finally get the kite up, get back upwind...die, float, swim, cuss, more swimming.

Oh well, things are looking good for this week!!
