Sunshine. The day started in the dark, no wind, no harness, and no helmet. Francois made the commute down from Squamish and the two of us traded guesses on what the day was going to bring (not much hope). Then it all changed - sun filled the bay, wind started to fill in, and Carl lent me a harness. Wind was steady and stable (able to keep moving most of the time). Both water depth and waves height were waist to chest thanks to the slack mid-tide. Playful small pushes and jumps were on offer. In the third hour the water flattened on the rising tide just before noon and the wind spun slightly south to create a wind shadow. Almost seemed too warm for 6/5/4. Close to ten celebrating Acadia in the sun (Lubo plus a few kites including Alton and Slappy sailed up to join in). Stoke seemed high and I was thankful for the wind, the harness, and the company.
