Kite Surfing

Hi

I must correct my spelling of Mui Ne from yesterdays post!
Sat in open air internet cafe - just had a load of annoying flies around me and the screen - quickly followed by 3 geckos running up and down the walls, catching and eating them! Makes a change from the cock roach.

Kite surfing today was good. We did much more than I expected. We did 2 1/2 hours until the wind got too strong.

Learnt about reading the wind and weather conditions. How to judge the sea. how to rig the kite, its safety bits. Flew a 4m kite and practised safe take offs and landings. Also used the kite as a sail to bring you back into the beach - incase youdrop your kite in the sea and cant get it back up. so you rescue yourself.

Tomorrow we will be in the sea practising dragging our bodies up and down the sea in a controlled fashion!!!! Then you get to move on to dragging with a board but its a very slow process.

Our instructor is great at it. When the wind is fast in the afternoon he is out jumping 15ft in the air, spinning around etc.

Played in the huge waves again.

Its lovely here as its very quiet, no parties just relaxing and reading etc.
Also saw sunrise again to day - not as good as yesterday. Chris is still yet to see one zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Well done Stevie Lawes on finishing another fine shoot! congrats on possible future work. Plus hope all is coming together for the wedding.

Branwen - have you had your baby?

lots of love to everyone
and a big hi to Nan - hope you are doing well.
