I was pretty excited that most of the Hatteras crew were heading up to check out the Launch Pad for a few days. I went out to make sure the place was ready and found a breezy NW wind. So at 10:30 AM I headed out for a quick windfoil.

| The Launch Pad ready for visitors! |
My session saw me catch a few runs and then circle back around the island.
 |
| My 5 km morning foil session |
3 cars with 4 people, 1 seadoo, 2 windsurf boards, 2 foil boards, 2 kite boards and almost a dozen windsurf sails, kites and wings arrived right around the 2pm pickup time. Oh, and a 5 boxes of Costco groceries and almost 100 beers! We loaded the boats and had a parade out to the cottage to unload.
 |
| Giving directions… |
 |
| The parade |
 |
| Stoked to be well stocked |
Then it was off to the Launch Pad to see if there was any wind left.. The wind had backed off so Chuck and Bryan didn’t quite get going windfoiling but did get on the water.

We then spent some time foiling behind the boat just as the sun was setting. It was spectacular and fun! Chuck amazed us with his ability to get up on the 105l foil board wakeboard style. The rest of us just stood up the normal way as the boat and board started gathering some speed.

 |
| Oh yeah |
 |
| Fun on the boat |
 |
| We missed the wind, but it picked up after dark! Air was around 13c, water 17c |
Back then for a nice chicken dinner, a lot of good conversation and checking of the wind forecasts…
