There's a decent breeze here at the airport. The sensor reads 15 knots. The Jericho sensor is down but it could be worth a try. BWD is calling for 15 knots from 3:00 to 6:00.

it's just age.
well ... strait is flat; it will keep at 0.5m and peak at 2am instead.
by 4:40pm is dark anyways, goodbye after-work sessions, see you in March.

I got a short session in at kits. Well powered on my 16m from 4:30 to 5:00. Had some issues with my lines and decided to call it a day as the sun was going down. The wind felt like a solid 15 knots for about a hour and today's wind was a nice surprise to make it 4 days in a row. :D

Just back from a fun big kite session at the ferry terminal. 3.5 hrs on the 14m (with a small 20 min run on the 9m, for 'experimental purposes' as Alton would say :? ) in the Sunshine. Nice steady wins and about eight of us out enjoying the rising tide and subsequent Buttah!!!!

Alton was there but Tony was not

Mark, Still some gas in the tank and I would check out Iona beach however need to pick up the kids from school and then violin beckons. Later in the week is looking delightful!

Thanks to Jerry's OSR, I scored a quickie 12m session at the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. Arrived late but caught the tail end 1:15-2pm in steady NW 15-20.

Fun sharing the water with Jerry, Clay, Lorne, Cash, Chuck, Rob W, James, Rich ... Warm, breezy and sunny. Best way to dry my 12m kite :D Rob and I darted off at 2:30pm to catch the Massey Gates of Hell.
