Had a great time Friday and Saturday at the pass.
Fridays winds were in the 15 to 20 mph range, SE ,tide going out all day.
Which made for long,fast, smooth runs . Logged 52 miles in the bug,
with top speed at 33.5 mph.No wonder I am so sun burn. Flew the 4 meter jo jo rm and the pkd 3 meter Brooza . The Brooza is turning out to be a
favorite with me in the said above wind range. Kite locks in and its all forward speed. Saturday got to the beach just in time for the pilots meeting
for the races. Winds were SE ,18 mph range.Two thumbs up to the guys who laid out the race course. Long speed straight away ,hairpin turn ,"S" curve,
and whoop-dee-doos. I was not born with kite buggy racing skills, so every time we get to race , is a learning experience.
The race agenda was 4 heats (5 laps per heat) "A" class and "B" class. "B" class being the newbs. Did well in the the first 2 heats.
But in the 3rd race we had a pile up in turn 4 ,which side lined me for the rest of the day with an ankle injury. "bummer" having to sit in my beach
chair , ankle propped up with ice on it, watching all the fun. in spite of the ankle ,still managed to cook up some grub
for a little feast. I'll have to ditto what Dylan wrote in his posting.
what a great bunch folks, get to meet a few more people every time we make the trip.Life is good...
anyhoo --Ankle got an x-ray on Monday and no break just bad sprain. So will be back in the saddle soon. till next time.....Herb
