I couldnt believe my eyes as i came accross the narrows heading home - only caught couple glipmse of the kite which was either a dark olive/green and possibly dark orange - maybe liqiud force kite (same shape as hifi). The wind didnt look solid enough either...i didnt wanna be a total nazi and take off after him to give him what for, i may be jumping the gun and they may be a logical explanation. [}:)] Feel free to tell me to shut up

I almost ran over a small child and a grandma racing down the river after work yesterday trying to get on the water before it died in the ass - i got 15 mins on the water and its the first after work session ive had since i got the dreaded "shift change" at work, so i cant stop and talk to him, if you have the pleasure of maybe an earlier shift than i do and can afford the time to say "g'day mate" i would be appreciative.

I was making the dash over the narrows @ around 515pm. Can i just say how much i hate my boss (whos sitting a metere away from me) for changing my freaking shift from the early (630-1530) to the later shift (830-1730) She knows how much i neeed to kite and ive been a good boy on the early shift for the last year never late always attentive, 5 years of getting to the early shift to be put right back where i started. Good on you Oh if anyone wants a Logistics Cordinator with 5 years experiance in the Courier industry let me know

Rocks in water that love to chew boards and feet east (upwind on easterly) of sand bar and don't attempt to kite across the river as there is a huge wind shadow half way out, and arrive early as the spot can get 'proper' crowded as its really the only game in town on an easterly.
