Wind on the water! Monday!

Double Bluff shaping up to look very good on Monday. Anyone with a big vehicle want to share the ferry ride from Seattle or ferry terminal? Free entertainment watching me wipe out all day! This front's going to be a cold one though. Bring your your warmest stuff.

And as a side note, RB if it turns SW for sure.

TJ's run last night and again this morning makes it look like DB may go today from 1pm onward with a big kite.

I spent 20 min. solo on the water at Iverson today a little after 3pm. The wind was fairly light and sorta punchy as well, much stronger near the shore. I couldn't make headway upwind with the flood tide and wind headed the same direction so called it quits fairly quickly. Tomorrow looks much better - wonder if anyone was at DB today? The wind charts look powered!

It twas. DB that is.
And did anyone get a license plate on that seaplane?
He was flying a little low. Maybe his passenger had a camera rolling. So I did a few big jumps. Nothing Philip nose bleed high but pretty big.
The pilot then circled around and came in really low. Right towards me. Lower than 1 kite line length. I thought he was going to land for a second between another rider and me. We weren't far apart. Then I thought he can't land there are waves. The plane would flip. Turns out the pilot was just showing us who was still king of the skies.
