Your lucky to live in such a wonderful vacation spot. World class kiting , sailing, climbing, skiing, and mountain biking. All within a short drive from Vancouver.

I love Nahant but rarely get there anymore.

Lots of talk about how crowded it is getting on the local forum. 127 cars this weekend filled the spit .

I wish you got a better shot of the overloaded launch . Squamish is a world class spot but is getting to be so crowded it is crazy. Fortunately, I here they will be developing another launch by the Nexan lands ?

Notice they are all in wetsuits. Glacier fed water is cold all year long. Canada EH !

P.S. Did I see Roland out there with a PL blimp ?

The Spit is a great location. Thermal winds all summer That spot on the leeward side of the spit is called the honey hole. Butter smooth and if you blow it you end up on " Bozo beach" . The rescue jet ski picks you up and your back at it !

Here is another one from this weekend. Shows the launch all piled up.
