Greg,

Wed looks back on and strong........Thurs is more of an offshore wind and more importantly its Molly and my anniversary......................:duh::duh:

riding in the fog? normally the marine layer kills the wind but we had 14 to 18mph winds and plenty of fog. It was good seeing and riding with kitedog again. kiting in the fog was an amazing experience somewhat like night kiting....................I read where Phree had the same conditions at HHI..................
