Day 62 of the 2016 season: Wimpy Harsens Island Session

The morning wind forecast was pretty much correct. Windiest early in the morning and tapering off by 11 o'clock. It wasn't a promising forecast but as always I was hoping for maybe a tad higher then forecasted. 
We rig our 11 and 12 M kites and eventually headed to the slick. Wasting a lot of time getting there only to find the slick conditions were not as expected, to much west out in the open water.
We tried to make it work there, in the fluky holey conditions, it just didn't happen.  The wind was appearing to dwindle so we headed back in very lite conditions. Once near the launch the wind spiked up so we played a little bit more until we couldn't stay upwind any more.
A 2 hour mediocre session. A few jumps, a few hard carving turns in the flat water section but that was it - a wimpy session.
