On the other side of the spectrum, The boys and I are making a weekend of it on the beaches of Ivanpah next weekend. Tides are favorable with hardpack!

When I read how it gets into the 80s at JI in March...I think I can make the 10 hr trip down there sometime soon!

Tri,

I'm planning a camping/ kiting trip to Tybee in April with my wife and kids. Only 3-4 hrs from ATL.

I may have a bug by then, and I'll need some instruction I'm sure.

I'll let you know when the time is closer.

Still waiting on OOBE vids!

I can try and make Tybee.................Ive been planning on WWBB since my cancer is in remission and the results of my next PET scan......buggying---main thing is find an isolated spot and go for it.............if you feel your going to fast apply your flinstone brakes and resume.........make your tacks are shorter until youre staying upwind........once you can stay upwind its your oyster...................be careful if your course headings change due the the contour of the coast line.............this may require some back tacking until you get back on your original heading..................have fun and dont sweat it and safety first!
