I think my son and one of his friends are driving down and bringing a canoe and plan on trying to gig some flounder in the bay at night.

Fish Taco's would really go good for dinner.

I may think to come down if my son do not have make up baseball game to attend.. Will find out for sure by late next week. I do miss doing kite buggy lately :Ange09:

Who can bring some wood for the pit? I think Susan and I will be there around noon.
Brad

I'm coming down around Friday noon and my family will be on the beach Saturday afternoon. Ready for wind!

I have a line on a couple large bags of oak. They are perfect for smaller fires. Fine restaurant grade wood fuel. Will be rolling to SLP Sat around 10 am. I can hardly wait.

I don't have any BBQ wood... but still have some logs lying around the yard (...and not just the type the dogs leave).

Tired of rain and hoping for some sun this weekend.

I will bring the wood.

Steve
Bring some logs for the fire pit, I will bring the spliting implements.
Brad

Dave has not said anything about cooking. He might be traveling light these days.

Brad and I plan on being there on Friday mid-day and Dave mentioned Friday also. I am sure others will join us late on Friday.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and also sand between my toes.

I should be rolling in some time in the afternoon.

Steve.

See ya tomorrow.

Susan (npw goddess)

i will be arriving tomorrow also... see y'all there.

Was a great time...

Race course was through the paths in the dunes on Saturday and was really fun. Course started with a slight upwind tack into a either a narrow hardpack channel, or a wider path with dunes and softer sand. If you took the faster path through the hardpack, it led into a 90 degree turn, with a 180 degree turn soon to follow. A Hard packed curve with only a buggy and a half wide channel or else you got muddy/wet that lead into a perfect powered straight path came next into a 270 turn. This took you back to the starting line... WIth only a few passing areas in the course, Kite and buggy postioning really made a difference. Smooth surfaces and sand "speed bumps" up to a foot tall made it a fun and challenging course. Winds seemed in the 15 to 20 range. Some of our NAPKRA courses have been setup for speed (40+mph), but this one was a ton of fun that focused on kite postioning and buggy handling in tight quarters.

A ton of fun... see everyone next year for Cinco de Mayo.

It was a great course. I had a lot of fun. It was very difficult to pass anywhere on the course, but it was challenging.
We had a good turn out with several faces that I hadn't seen in a while.
It was a great weekend... Thanks everyone!

Steve.

Glad yall had a good time. I know I did.

See ya on the beach.

I just wanted to personally thank everyone for coming out and participating in the 8 races this weekend. I don't think we could have asked for much better weather on Saturday and the very fun and technical course that was set up it challenged everyone. I also want to thank everyone who helped out putting on the races, photographing and videoing the action, supplying the food and cooking too. It seems each time we get together for the races we have more fun than the last time, and more new pilots participate and others get much better at racing and honing their skills. It is a pleasure to help organize and get these races for Club 13 going. Everyone that participated had a great time and a number of them really surprised themselves with their skill level. I look forward to the next event.

I had a great time at SLP on Fri / Sat with the hospitality from everyone even the newcomers!! Darn missed the tryout race challenge on Saturday as were picking my family up from Houston to bring them down to the beach for first tandem ride. See you all next time!

Got up early saturday morning and lit the grill...


Watched the sun come up while making a run to the water tower.
