Easy launch at Stevie, if you don't choke on smoke.

| It was quite good and not nearly as cold as I thought would be. I wouldn't want to break down, but tolerable for sure. Only two other kiters out. |

So where'd you go, Micah? Rooster? Stevenson? Blackberry Beach? If Rooster, was there any beach? I've never been to Blackberry - how's the launch area - compared to Stevenson, for example.
I knew I should have skipped work today. It won't happen again... |

just me and Dave tag teamed Stevie. Looked like Blackberry was on fire. Literally on fire.
Gotta say the drysuit is the way to go in 40 deg water. Face planted hard, no cold shock to shrivel the ..... Wore my street clothes under, then wore em home.
THANX OUTDOOR PLAY!!!!

I went to Rooster. There is a small sliver of beach on the west end and there is a bit of beach on the Far East end near the pond area. Blackberry beach is a lot like Stevie but a little mellower. Might be difficult to self launch from unless you bring something to attach to a tree or something. The water is damn cold! Dress for the swim, not the ride. |
