Wednesday April 6

            What can I say, perfect morning again, I sound like a broken record!  Breakfast; perfect.  Environment; perfect.  Friends to share it all with; perfect!  Such a peaceful rise to the day, slow and steady, like the building wind.

            A trip down the hill to the center, to see the folks out with 5’s and 4’s already!  I even got there before noon!  Some office play and then out to take some more shots of the fun.  I had a great time out taking photos again!  So many folks out there to watch, and plenty of performances in front of the lens!  I get some of the best spectator angles you can imagine, even if it’s with one eye closed, looking thru the viewfinder!  Such a blast!  See photo gallery here.

      

            The hat was a floppin’ while standing in the shallows, and the memory was full, so it was time to sail!  I saw Connie was on a 5.2 and the 84Lt for the noon-time session, but it was coming up, so I opted for the 5.0M and the 91Lt JP.  Some super rides on the outside!  The tide was in, and the slightly deeper water seemed to smooth out the ramps, and provided some super steep wave faces!  I was in heaven as I blasted off wave after wave, shooting high into the air, flying downwind and onto the water!  I even managed one of my highest jumps to date!  So stinkin’ high up, I could hardly believe it!  Even managed a somewhat stable landing, and onto plane after some sinkage for a bit!  What a fun ride!

            I had plans for a 4:00 pm Hacky-Sack session with the guys, and made my way in for the footbag and some Advil for the sore joints!  We had a super fun and extra sweaty session, burned off the joint pain, and felt awesome after a cool shower!  Love to play the hacky!

            It was happy hour, and Mary Luz brought out the Volleyball for some late afternoon practice.  She managed to get a few folks involved, and they volleyed about, while the rest of us watched.  Connie was soon tired, and cooled off with a dunk in the sea, before joining us for the remains of happy hour.  Plenty of new folks to meet, and some more fun chatting over beers and drinks!

            We planed for the Atti restaurant for dinner, and gathered some seven sailors together, to share the feast and stories into the evening!  Another great meal, and we were all again too tired to do much else.  Off to bed to complete another day!
