I am in serious need of some time on the water. Here is the problem I am seeing forecasts for easterlies tomorrow afternoon and into Thursday morning. With a crazy work schedule i can only choose one.

Option 1: leave work around 12 tomorrow (wed) and hit up rooster for afternoon session

Option 2: Take the morning off for a dawn session Thursday and have to be back at work by 12:30 or so

What would you do? Thanks in advance

Option 1 is definitely the ticket! Better yet, leave by 11.

Leave work tomorrow as early as you can and kite the easterlies anywhere from Rooster to Stevenson until it shots off later in the afternoon and eventually switches to a west wind.

If you spent less time checking forecasts and reading this forum you could get your work done and have more time for kiting......at least that's my problem.

Whichever you choose, you'll wish you'd done the other. It always happens that way. Unless you sacrifice a virgin to the wind gods.

When work interferes with kiting you need to make a choice....

We are only here for a short time..

If every day is not the fulfillment of your dreams its a day lost and you can't get it back...

Just saying................................
