Just drove through Wayzata on my way to work and saw the flags fully extended. Its blowing 15mph+ out there straight South. Looks like it could be a one of the best days of the year with the soft snow.

right on. Thanks for the update. I'm heading there shortly. Hopefully you can "step out for some coffee" hint hint, nudge nudge.

Hey Tighe will you still be out at around 4:00 today. That is about the earliest I could get out and the winds still look pretty good for like and hour session.

maybe Hunter. I have to pick up my daughter this afternoon though not sure about the timing. Even if I'm not there you should try and get out someone will have some gear for you. This may be our last day...tomorrow may be water skiing.

How is the road going out? What are the chances of getting stuck?

The road going out to Kite Island is good. There was a Honda Civic out there last night. Just don't run over my sunglasses.

I brought all my gear with me today at work, I am going to try and get out today around noon or so. Hey Tighe, quick question. On my chicken loop I noticed that the little plastic ball for my leash is not on the leash line, do you happen to have a spare? I think we might have forgotten to put it on when we rigged? I was out yesterday late afternoon and the line kept pulling right through the little metal loop.

I think you don't even have to drive on the rode we could problably launch off of the beach. And is there anybody with like a windwing 440, slingshot B4 or something like those kites that I could barrow this afternoon.
