The flag on memorial hill was barely moving but it was warm and I was done with work at 2:30 so I thought I would take a chance that it would be blowing at the dam and when I arrived there was a sail on the water.
I rigged my 7.5 and headed for the water asap. Started planing right off and stayed planing most the time although I learned later that the other sail on the water was a 9.2, so he(Erik) was getting stuff I wasn't, but we were both having a good session. Even though it was still blowing good after I got out of the water, I had to be home for dinner or the wonderful wife of mine gives me flack. As I'm packed up and ready to leave, I see a kite on the water. wonder who ? post!! Yet another DeerCreek Delight

I was the kiter. I arrived at 5:00 and had an hour of good riding on my 20M before the wind gradually backed down. The light that time of day is amazing, especially when the sun dipped below the peak of Timp and the suns rays fanned out above the mountain. It was truly a spectacular sight. Love Deer Creek this time of year, no boats while I was on the water and the wind is nice and consistent by DC standards. Wish I could have spent more time on the water with my poleboarding brethern. However, I felt glad to be on the water on such a nice day.

Yesterday was stronger. Hoping for good wind again tomorrow. 3peat will make up for last week's frustrations.
