Day 36 of the 2014 season: Surprise Session - Something about Tuesdays this season

Something about Tuesdays this season. Seems like Tuesdays are the windy days this year.


A total surprise session on Sleeping Bear Bay from the Bay street launch.
Side on NNE winds up to 20 MPH - parking the kite and cruising.
Winds were forecasted to be NNE 5-10 but as it often happens here the wind is sailable even with the feeble forecast.
