That is the only real problem......area. The lake is not wind shadowed and free of power boats. I took wind speeds and they are pretty non-gusty given being in the middle of the Hill Country. I really need SE winds to be ideal....but it is only 30 min from the house which makes me want to make it work. Landing and take off areas are tight but I think it will be ok. I really want to go to the coast...Port A. or Galveston....it is just hard to get out for the whole weekend.

Looks like the wind is carrying on into next week as well.

I can't go kiteing today, but the weather man says "East winds 10 to 15 mph in the morning becoming southeast and increasing to 20 to 25 mph in the afternoon. "

Have a CrazyFly and a new fishing reel to try out. Lotsa surf... talk about a perfect combination to try out new toys.

More wind this week. Blowing 15-20 next few days, dead onshore. Excellant setup for water or land. Thinking of hitting the levee tomorrow and the beach for the weekend. Graet for kites... and my new reel needs a bull redfish to test it out (and fish tacos are always great after a day of kiting).
