you are one of the only 2 cars left behind at duke point and then the full ferry to twassen takes off without you :evil:

Nice late afternoon slalom session at Locarno. Needed 7.0/110l but it worked well from 430 - 6pm. Light near the shore but good once you got out. Enjoyed with Lubo on his 8.0 and Andrew (I think) on his classic 6.2/Mistral Screamer. Saw you for a few minutes Richi but I think it was a bit light for 5.8

Had a very underpowered session from 3:30-5:30. The JSCA graph showed 15 knots but it was no where near that up at Dog Beach. Maybe 12-13 for most of the time with a few nice gusts.

Launched on the grass again for fear of the doggies. When the wind was dying at 5:15 I almost landed at the beach but all the after work dogs were running amok so I opted to wrap up in the water at the grass.

Happy that lifeguard season is over in a few days.

Yikes :shock: I was heading to dog beach for a double session but detoured home when I saw Roxstock's OSR. Thanks for the OSR and the report.

Good one Marcus. Looks like you were kiting alone by the appearance of the BWD Sail Log
