A cold early morning blast looks more than possible tomorrow,

should shake the cobwebs out of the beer effected brain, thats for sure

Hard to know whats going to happen to direction etc though, depends on how the fronts move across today - tonight really,..

going to use my wife's g string

definitely not kiting weather, rain and clouds = squalls = disaster

look at river graphs 15kn+ difference between average and gusts

lunacy to kite in that

vi stay in bed and keep your wife warm - put a bun in the oven

maybe avo a goer, swell & southerly = arto a go go
gunna get the rocket fish launched

yeah, yeah, I agree

will be laying off putting the buns in the oven as that will put an end to the kiting!

just wondering whether the wind will piss off when the cloud and rain piss off?

NIKE says "JUST DON'T DO IT"
ARNIE says "YOU WON'T BE BACK"
VB says "If I see anyone rigging up a kite today in my travels I'll approach you with a knife and pair of scissors for your kite and three heavy guys to take care of you. So by the time ther'e finished with you you'll think you went kiting today. SIMPLE."

Southerlys on the river are for desperate kiters that haven't been out for awhile, gusty and crappy. Think I'll stay home and clean the toilet!
