Yes it was a nice couple of hours, Sunday afternoon was the only fine weather window we had last week, its rain forecast all this weekend and i have a touch of the flu, so it might be an excellent rigging weekend.

It sure is a popular windsurfing and kite surfing spot, in summer i hope to get proficent at kite yakking, that is go out wide in the morning and deploy a kite to get me in fast and with ease, i believe the kites folks use are like a large sea anchor, putting up sails does not appeal with me ,,just deploy the kite and bob's your uncle. :)
