The Downwind without wind and the end

Yesterday we tried another downwind session and it went like this.
A. Arrive at the spot and get told by fisherman to gtfo.
B. Begin the downwind ride with close to no wind.
C. Continuously move the kite to create enough lift and reach the first checkpoint.
D. Drink a beer.
E. Evaluate the situation and decide to keep going, this time in the ocean.
F. F**k. Bad idea wind also low there.
G. Give it all to reach the camp before the wind dissapears completely.
H. Happy ending.

Then sausages, beers and gratin dauphinois. In Sri Lanka. Ah ah.

Today low wind, frustration, a nap and some cursing.
Kite and board cleaned. Tomorrow last day but I am not in the mood to wait for wind and be frustrated by its absence later.

Overall terrific vacations though!Read more
