You Snooze, You Lose...

After my bike ride, I went to the beach to see if it was blowing at the beach. The meter said that it was 15 mph at Leo, so I figured that there was a good chance that I would kite. NO SUCH LUCK. I got to the beach, and couple of kites were in the air, slogging along. NOT a good sign. I hung around for a bit, and the wind picked up a bit. So everyone and their dogs got ready and went out. I, being more cautious, waited a bit to see if it would pick up. (I hate switching out kites, you know...). Finally, I got ready and decided to put up the 13m Scorpion. But just as I stepped foot on the beach, the wind turned off! Just like that. WTF...? It never turned on again. D'oh! I snoozed and lost.. :-\

Santa Ana winds are expected to howl through here starting tomorrow. San Felipe is supposed to be going off,... probably too strong for me though - 30-40+ knots. Ooof.... Warm water and warm wind would be nice... but not 40 mph winds...

With any luck, C-Street will be going off here too. I'll keep my fingers crossed!
