Constance Bay

Cold northerly wind around 20knots - perfect for my 5.2 and 85l quatro.  Hit the water around noon with Dunrobin local Peter Williamson.  I really like this beach - lots of sand and a nice view of the Gatineau hills.  There were small rollers forming and I tried a forward loop..closed my eyes, tucked and spun around -not sure what it looked like..my feet were not on the board when I landed.  Tried a few vulcans and the my usual stuff.  My hands never did quite warm up and the water must have been warmer than the 11degree air.  Had a couple hours of fun sailing.  Peter took his 7m kite out too.  While taking a few pics of Pete, I noticed some little gulls and snapped a few.  Overall good session -  I think I'll visit Constance bay more often when the wind blows due north - thanks to Peter for showing me around the spot - he lives just down the river (and on the river) in Dunrobin.
