Well the first pictures taken was me on a 7 when I thought I was on a 12. All I can say is they (7 and 12) are the same color and not enough sleep before going out! It was quite the feet to stay up wind in under 20 knots on the 7!
But today was awesome 20-30 knots and no work nagging at us or lawns to trim, roofs to fix etc etc.... Maya can run around like the kook she is on the ocean side. Barbecue at our place on Friday for all you Tampa Bay kiters up in hatteras. Highly recommend this place drive is not bad, house rentals are reasonable and it is beautiful. Hope everyone is having a great week. Lori

If it's really beauty sleep, it will be more like 40 hours.
 Sounds like a blast you guys. I just can't ever rationalize traveling anywhere for wind anymore when every time I went somewhere it blew here. Have a great time.
