A lot of photos, background and even some kite impressions to follow in a couple of posts starting with ...

Thanks for the excellent photos as usual Rick. I think we have a photo of my trying out my new rescue boat somewhere. I'll dig it up and send you one. It was an epic event and one I'm sure everyone will remember!

Nice pics Rick, makes me miss my old riding spots...
