0115-20

I found a car to buy; a 95 Nissan Pathfinder for $1800.  If it holds up for 3 months, should be easy to sell when I leave.

Drove around the west end today.  Stopped to swim at a beach on the west side.  There were a couple of surfers out.  Guys on the beach yelled and waved them in because they saw sharks in the water.  I didn't see the sharks but did see a couple of whales further out.  Drove around the north end of the west side; curvy, narrow sometimes 1 lane road.  I saw white caps on the water as I was going and it took for ever to get back to kite beach.

Got out on the 13m kite very well powered up.  Beautiful afternoon, warm air, warm water and I saw a humpback whale breech 3 times.  Session ended when I fell and had a little trouble relaunching the kite.  By the time I got the kite relaunched, the board was nowhere in site.  Trolled back and forth for a while with no luck.  Will go out first thing in the AM and look for it on the beach.

  1. Good web work, blogger pro! Hope you'll find the board - then again, the sharks might have torn it to pieces since they were pissed not finding better and more nutritious food :) Remember, if those guys get too intimate with you just punch them in the nose - that will do the trick. They might get a bit annoyed, however.

  2. Agree with uncle, blog looks good!

    Good to hear from you too! A bit envious about your location. If i stumble into some cash you'll get a couch crasher for a while.

    Did you find the board? How's the swell?

    luv all around
