I'm still in Angola. Bummer. I only live 45 minutes from there.
East beach used to be so much nicer before they put in all of those posts. I guess they are parking space markers, but they may also be buggy
deterrents.

Looks like we have good wind this Saturday (2Mar) in Galveston (although north wind instead of south). I'm thinking about trying my new wheels out at
the east beach, or anywhere else. Anyone else insterested?

First you have to get those wheels mounted!! I would go if it's direct onshore winds. It's gonna be a direct offshore and gusty probably. I'll
have to think about it since I'm super busy lately. Just make sure you don't end up in a kite release, otherwise it might end up in the ocean
floating away.

They are already mounted  looks pretty nice. I do need some 20mm washers or
spacers though. I think last time we had direct offshore wind as well in Dec; it actually wasn't that bad at East beach. Forecast 20mph gust to 23, I
think my Phantom should be fine.

Van, you jinxed it...the Venom is gone. A strong gust set it free from the sand bag while I was sorting out the lines. I didn't even have a chance to
chase after it and it was already in the water sailing away....Wilson....
Also, I think I forgot my harness after packing - couldn't find it when I got home, so that's gone as well.
Then, I dropped my phone when I was doing some work on the buggy and the screen shattered...what a day, lol.
Well, sounds like I have enough excuses to get some new gears. =]

I'm busy moving to the other side of Houston. Can't make it.  Have fun. It is
windy today. I may take the kids to the park and fly their kites.
