What I wouldn't do for P-Bay Session afterwork

Is it me or has Summer almost passed us by with a dismal monsoon season in June and into July. Too much rain. What I would do for a session at P-bay amazes my own standards but that's how desperate I am thinking right now. I remember one year almost 4 out of 7 days I could head over from work, a short drive over the Ft. Point Channel, Summer Street Bridge to Pleasure Bay and find perfect SW winds and flat water with only a few people riding the Bay of poo, moon jellies and flat water bliss.

July 4th Weekend Break Through

Well it was about time that we had the perfect combination of wind and weather. Summer finally showed up at our doorstep and I was determined to spend July 4th in a windy spot. I got up at 5:30am slowly pushing myself out of bed after about 15minutes. The goal was to be on the road by 6:15am. I got up slowly and the car was already loaded but I just got into the car after brushing my teeth, deoderized and washed my face. Said my morning prayers asking for wind and for a full day. Hit the road went through the tunnel when I realized I forgot Bob's new bar so I turned around to go get it.

Kiting in Winthrop @ Yirrell Beach

On Saturday a hand full of us went to Yirrell Beach in Winthrop (next to Deer Island) to ride. There wasn't enough wind to ride but we did run into the plover police (DCR & NE Aquarium) representative that monitors and maintains the nesting areas on Revere, Winthrop Beach and Yirrell Beach. She came off asking if we belon to a club and she knew right away that we were kitesurfers. Anyway, we had a pretty good conversation with her as there was no confrontation.
