I am not going to sweat it much. Usually Wind Alert and Windfinder show the forecast for wind, but that doesn't always account for thermal action. The
weather can change day to day. All I see when I check the forecast is that I am going to get lots of time on my 19m Speed 3 and my 8.6m Reactor. Two
of my favorite kites, along with all of my other favorite kites.

Like Demo said, praying for island thermal action lol. Drawing in the afternoon onshore winds.
I will have a full set of tools too. I always carry them while on long road trips. If anyone has any vehicle or kite gear issues, just hit me up!
God Speed everyone!! See y'all on the golden isle. We are pulling out around 4am Sunday morning. Should be there around 2-3ish. All the little
bladders in my car pretty much guarantees we stop at every rest area..... Lol

Plus one for Demo and 3shot. Afternoon seabreaze usually trumps local computer generated forecasts
Many people know that I have a secret switch buried in the dunes that will switch the winds around from the east.

Interesting drive so far - we had cleared the boarder in Buffalo just after 6:00 am, had a decent drive through NY, PA and most of West VA until we
stopped for gas in Summersville. We to leave and the first stop sign I was rolling through with a blown brake line. Long story short but incredibly
helpful people bending over backwards to help us working after their hours and a #@%$#! of brake line to access - 3 guys stayed to help and did it all
asking just 95.00! Gave them more plus some CDN beer and back on the road! Stopped in Rock Hill SC for the night so the drive Sunday morning shouldn't
be too bad and there sometime after noon - safe journey everyone and Angus did you get our deposit Fiona sent in for the wind switch?

98% Loaded,... leaving as soon as the girls eat their breakfast... hopefully on the island by early afternoon.
I'd say we packed light, but with 6 of us, there really is NO such thing.
I'm going to take a nap now

We are moved in to Jekyll in our rental. It was hard to remember where to drive "home" to at the end of a work night. I work 12 p to 8 p Sunday. Joan
tells me that the beach was packed today but we should be ok during the week.
Looking forward to seeing everyone. Mark tell Fiona I have the switch deposit- just have to find the switch somewhere in the dunes.

Hey all, I just got a call from Pokite. He's had a family issue just come up, and it may take a day or two to work through it. So no Kitefort
tonight, and possibly not tomorrow night.
I'm on my way to JI now, and am temporarily high and dry for a place to stay tonight. What are the budget hotel options?
Or, does anyone have a couch I can crash on tonight? I can pay with Aunt B cookies!

Hey Spencer. Passed you coming over the bridge. We have to address some vehicle issues in the am. Then hope to see everyone after that. It has been a
tough day, but we are on the island...

I saw you guys!... Bummer about the 'burban!
We are right next door to Ted and Holly and SUPER pleased with our rental!... We got here just in time to unload the cars, stroll to the beach, bring
'em home and toss 'em in bed. Wifey and I are enjoying time in front of the tube now!
See y'all on the beach! Looks pretty good tomorrow.

Absolutely EPIC DAY of kiting today! Learned more about flying that Apex in one day than in all of the time I've owned it put together. Scott was
yelling instructions at me with all the risk of me crashing our kites together there was. It didn't happen, but it was so inspiring to have one of
the best landboarders out there willing to get that close to such a de-power novice as myself. No wonder you kiters all feel like family!
Made it all the way to the water tower upwind today with it and haven't felt this accomplished since that magical night in 1976 that Angela showed me
what love is

Well car issues are a whole other story and big thanks to Jason and Amanada for rescuing us and bringing us and the gear to the island and all the
shuttling around for the last two days, it definitely isn't easy dealing with your family and then accommodating me and my stuff as well - I really
appreciate it and also all the people that have offered help and showed concern.
The best news of the day came later afternoon when the garage said it was an issue with a broken brake and with towing and repairs etc it will be
370.00 and should have a car late tomorrow so I can start lugging all my own crap around. I hope all the other auto issues with others get sorted as
fast and the least painful way.
Okay kiting today, Jason and I arrived a little later on the beach expecting to go back and forth digonally but the wind had better direction than
expected and we could run no problem to the south tower and come ripping back. I think a few of us experienced some really nice speed coming North and
later afternoon as the tide was coming in seemed to be a slight change in wind direction and slightly stronger making for what I felt were my fastest
runs at JIBE feeling more like running on the playa - damn I wish I had taken my GPS with me today!
Then later it was a plethora of wonderful aunt B's cookies, beer, Jameson's, and faux habenero pineapple beer ..... More to come!
