Yee Haaa~ It was blowing tonight ! Just got in for a GR8 session.

Lets talk about all the sea life that I saw.........Mmmmm Flying fish and Ballyhoo EVERYWHERE. Then there was the small 4-5 ft don't know what kind a Shark. There were a pod of Tarpon that I spooked off a mid break sand bar. Then I was kiting in the Boynton inlet and thought I saw another shark, But as I saw the fin and the boil I asked a fisherman if it was and he said no it was a HUGE tarpon. I said good luck to him and headed back down wind toward Hammock park and thats where I saw a nice 7-8 foot Lemon . Ohhh chit I almost forgot the kingfish that skied about 10 yards in front of me as I work it up wind toward the inlet. It was ALIVE out there, Wind, Waves and Sealife all in crystal blue water ~ You just have to LOVE South FL :D

Two days of wind and looking for a third ~ Keeping my fingers crossed

Well, One thing was for sure: Yesturday(thursday) was PERFECT day at Biscayne Bay, although there was a brief sprinkles here and there(put me into a nervous breakdown), everything was all good. It was about 18-20 knots and pretty gusty.
Im 150lb and I think I was a little overpowered w/ my 13 Yarga, u might say??
Anyways, u guys said there was wind today...and I missed it. Shit.
Possibly Saturday, anyone?

Thursday was the best of the three days for me as well. It blew around 17 kts. here yesterday, Friday, for about four hours. That is until I arrived after work, whoops! I was trying out a new Contra 14 m. It was even a bit light for that. The forecast is for about 5 kts. today, Saturday, but who knows, the thermal winds might come through. If it stays cloudy through there is a lower chance of that happening. It may go down for a few days.

Let's hope July delivers some good rideable thermal winds. It happens some years and not in others. Still, we have been doing pretty well so far this summer. A bit above average I would guess. Grab wind when you can.
