road trip: Malorytown Landing - super hot day

Temps in the mid-thirties with south west winds...south west winds at Britannia are gusty and dirty, so I decided to run down to the St Lawrence river for an afternoon session.

my gear rides shot-gun today
 
  It's a beautiful spot and it didn't disappoint - I started out on a 5.7 and later rigged up my 5.2.  Got to use both boards.  Ran into local sailor Oliver and met Mike Fisher from Kingston.  Oliver had some bad luck and cut his big toe up BAD on his fin.  He was bleeding like crazy, but he got taped up and got out on the water!  Mike Fisher is an awesome sailor - he was pulling vulcans, spocks, grubbys, loops, and tons of other tricks!  He was sailing a 5.3 and 4.7 always on a 105 freestyle quatro board.  One time I came in to put on a weed fin, took off my harness....changed fins, and went to put my harness back on and it was gone!  vanished...looked everywhere..finally it turned up down the shore line about 40 meters.  My guess is that a kiter walking by accidentally hooked it on his lines and dragged it out with him. I was relieved to retrieve it - my gps was attached to it. 
Afterward, I thought I'd try to find a geocache or two in the vicinity - found one and got stumped by the other.

took some time out to find the lonely pioneer geocache
