worked all morning today in the sun at my place. go for a kite at 1pm and the minute I turn around the corner and catch a glimpse of the whitecaps on the ocean the first drop of rain hits my windshield. sun comes out again, pump up kite. sun goes away and it proceeds to piss down for 30min at which time i packed my wet kite away and drove home.[}:)]

Bummer.
It was better down the coast, one of the steadiest southerlies for ages. I'm buggered. 3 hours on the water. Out of shape after winter. The coolest thing today was getting checked out by a pod of dolphins, they were surfacing all round me so I followed them out a bit, with my kite pretty low, then 3 of them jumped right under the kite! Curious buggers eh? Is kiting the best?

If I told you I'd have to kill you, but it's a South Coast NSW headland that shares a name with deepest darkest Africa.

Yeah, I read that...total bummer...still, I'm sure you're glad you're not still attached to it, miles from shore. Your life is worth a bit more than a secondhand Best. Mind you, pretty much everything is worth more.. I hope you get the kite back....
