Britannia - crazy west storm
Saturday may 18th..guessing- wind was intense, sailed 4.6 banzai...waited out the storm in the trees (in the water at the shoreline - the water level was insanely high)...very cold too. I think Pete and maybe 1 other guy sailed....no kites, it was just too nuts

OBX spring 2013 - saturday
Marc and Lisa showed up friday night, and the kiter gang decided to downwind it from the house to frisco campgrounds. More northeasterlies and really cold now. We packed up everything and dropped off the keys to the cottage and had our last session at the campgrounds. The conditions were great (85 quatro fsw and 4.2) and I had a great session trying lots of stuff - getting closer to vulcans at least. Finally the kiters arrived (we were getting worried) and Lisa was spent. It was a looong downwinder I guess. That was it...hit the road non stop for ottawa.

OBX spring 2013 - friday
More north east... it has blown all the water to the west... we have to walk 500 m just to get into deep water to sail! It's gotten windier..using the 85 liter board and 4.6 bonzai. Trying to convince Jim to launch on the ocean. Talked to Andy at HIB and said he was going to sail after work at the frisco pier. We headed down and there were a few guys out - reef warior casey was one of them. The waves were clean due to the side-off direction but inside the break the wind was holey and patchy. The cottages in front must have been responsible. Andy showed up and caught some waves. Jim and I went out..I spent some time in the rinse cycle with zero wind..finally got out past the break, but I was exhausted and cut my losses.

OBX spring 2013 - thursday
More north east winds...still chilly. I think I sailed the 5.7 the whole time and the freestyle board. It jumps great and the vulcan practice has resumed. Hot tub got used a lot. Miro arrived and got out on the water with us with his punch kite.
