Sunday, December 27 Kiteboarding Success

"Today I found it. Excellent to near perfect. Much like Long Bay Caicos; narrow beach with lots of dried sargasso backed by bushes. Sandy beach, onshore quartering wind, chop a little more than The Basin at high tide, plus some swell. Park the car in the bushes at the edge 50 feet from the water. It is a bay, Yesterday I was on the other side of the bay and could see this beach on the other side. The "good" kiters are over there. The wind was 18-20 steady. Again it was at the limit of my capabilities. I am not used to dealing with the waves Not making my turns so good. But tomorrow I will! I met Ted, an American living in France, here for two weeks. His daughter, probably 18, did it for the first time today. Also a windsurfing location, and they were having fun too. I saw only one carving jibe. Most of the people made the turn but came off the plane.
  It felt good. I feel good.
Love,
Bill"
