Day 23 of the 2016 season: Cinco de Mayo - Lexington fires up for a 9M kite session

Got a late start to Lexington but it all worked out. The forecasted winds were higher than forecasted.
Unusual conditions, flat on the inside with some 2-4 foot swell off the jetty. Probably due to the NNW wind direction. Fun carving and boosting on the flat water section on the leeside of the jetty.
Great day with Craig, Jerry, Aaron, Mark and myself.
Cold water and a bluebird 50ish degrees for the air temperature.
Dinner at the Lexington Village Theatre in town - highlighted by peanut butter and raspberry stout beers.
