The 1000 Day Holiday

Went out kitesurfing today.

Wind was ~13knots when I went out. had a couple of good runs, then the wind picked up and was gusting up to ~25knots. very bad to be on a 17m kite. I was walking back up the beach, the lines completely reefed in.

A gust came through and lifted me up and directly towards a guy with his surfcasting line out.
He managed to get it down just in time for me to jump him, I managed to land just before the road and trees!

Luckily we decided it was time to go at this stage, as we got back to the van and they were towing every vehicle (clearway). Very lucky and know must learn that I have to actually read what the sign says, not just park there because others are.

Could have been very bad, as Allister had to be @ the airport in 1/2 an hour, and had left his passport in the van!

I must have good karma.
