Look like we got some wind coming in tomorrow, hopefully while we still got some light.

let's hope the wind kicks in earlier, definitely a chance for a sunset session at the ferry terminal...

Got out for an hour, 6 to 7. Sailed until dark and the kiters were still going. Almost didn't go, I had just sat down for dinner when the wind kicked in, had a few bites and bolted for the door. Glad I went, nicely powered on the 5M wing and I finally made a 360, pulled another one off a little later then things got sketchy. Wind started to crank, but it was super gusty, and it started to get dark so I called it.

Good to be back in South Chesterman for double session 3.7m / 75L and 8m / surfboard.

Saturday and Sunday went sailing with 26 feet sailboat on 15-20 knots NW. Stayed overnight near Gabriola island by Pilot bay — lost all nite sleep on the boat cuz of the restless water…
