How's This for Steady Wind?

It's been blowing on the Outer Banks. How's this for steady wind and more is forecast. Gene, I hope you're out there sailing this week.

Really great week -

Monday -SUPed, Kited 17 and 11 meters
Tuesday - Kited 17 meter

and then,
Wednesday - sailed 5.2 (could have ran 4.5)
Thursday - sailed 4.5
Friday - Kited 8.0 and sailed 4.5

The same wind (20-25 knots with gust to 30) is forecast again for tomorrow.

Second week report -
Sunday - 3.7 Super Windy
Monday - Kited 11 meter and 17 meter Kites
Tuesday - the one bad day for wind, tried the 17 meter Kite but just missed the little bit of wind we had.
Wednesday - kited 11 meter
Thursday - kited 11 meter
Friday - kited 11 meter and 8 meter (made one run on 17 meter but way to big (SW wind quickly built during day)

This was the most wind i'd ever had in a 2 week period, EVER! I really really love this place!!!!!
