Playful. Arrived in La Ventana just after dark last night. Lots of animals (red fox) and livestock (donkeys, horses, cows) on the drive up. Checked-in, grabbed dinner (road-side tacos) and groceries. Heard the roosters this morning and watched the sunrise. Then took to the water for an
early mornng SUP. Was surprised to catch a couple of leftover wind swell breaking at the jetty at the north end of the campground (they were only knee-high, but I'll take them). Then got Ethan origanized for his 'orientation`lesson. Wind line was out in the channel and took its time filling in, so Ethan had a delayed start but scored the best part of the day (10 m). His instructor said he was doing well and almost ready to be sailing independently. I ran errands while he was out and by the time I took to the water I got a few short rides with power then the puffs of the backing wind (Freewave 115 and Severne Freek 5.6). Really playful water (given the wind)! Pretty sure I saw Wyatt Miller riding a windsurfing hull with a foil fin pull a duck jibe on the inside. Our day was capped with a great meal at the Palapas Ventana.
Special thanks to Joeblo for the loan of the golf bag for Ethan's kiteboarding gear, the windsurfing gear and all of the Le Ventana info!
