Did those fishermen hassle you at the kite launch today?

They were looking at me a lot while I was rigging, but they did not say anything. There was a clear access to the water next to where they were, so our paths did not cross. When I came in there was someone fishing at my entry point. I deflated the kite and went in through the trees before I came to that spot. Everything should be ok with those guys as long as we avoid crossing paths.

Since that is really one of the few launches on the lake and they most likely were there long before the concept of kiteboarding was a dream, let's do our best to be on stay on good terms with these guys. Bill mentioned there already was some tension because of some incidence earlier in the year. If we ever want to have a chance at improving that launch, like tree trimming, parking, etc. we'll need to keep on good terms with these folk.

just my 2 cents worth. Sounds like it was a fun day.

I can't figure out why they are fishing there. It's shallow and there is really no structure. I think they are just going to come out on breezy days to get in the way! ...and what are they fishing for?

Ah, Mr. Lock, no doubt you are a true poet at heart.

Nice job winning the Mr. Speed contest! The West side boyz will come to play this game next time... If anyone wants to really play the speed game; come join us on the ice in the near future.

It was fun to see such a big gathering at Cannon last Wednesday!

Good Times!!!

The Professor...
