Day 22 of the 2016 season: Celebrated May day with a Downwinder from Pinconning to Hoyles

Killerny wind data

Four hours plus of drive time for 3.5 hours of kiting. That's a lot of drive time but well worth it today.
Kited at the Pinconning Site for 2 hours and then met up up with Chris and John for the downwinder.
Actual wind was light when they arrived so wasn't to sure about a downwinder. As soon as Chris and John stepped into the water the wind picked up and the signal was given to do a downwinder.
Ended up as a 1.5 hour downwinder with not as many slicks as you'll see later on in the season. But still well worth the effort.
John, Chris, Craig on 12M and Tom on his 11M. Good day, fun group with fun results.
