Day 36 of the 2016 season: Fought hard to make it work at Point Betsie

Fought hard to stay upwind, and finally gave in and landed the other side of light house. Couldn't land before lighthouse, to many tourists on beach.
SSW winds to 18 maybe. Went with forecast and the forecast never materialize.
1.5 hours of mowing lawn trying to stay upwind but slowly lost ground due to the strong current and mediocre winds.
Several Kiters on the beach waiting for decent wind.
A foil boarder did good with a 13M kite. Another 12 M kite was doing better then me, he was upwind when I got there. He was able to land his kite where he launched from.
I'm not sure I like this venue, aways had shifty wind sessions here and the current is strong so it takes you north of the lighthouse when winds are lite.

TOW:  1.5 hours
Gear:  13M and TT
Water Conditions: Nearly flat to 1foot chop
Weather: Sunny 80s
