Secret
spot When we landed on the airport we had to
wait a couple of minutes, because there was nobody there
yet. Finally someone came took our passports and he was
gonna drop em of at the bungalows. We took of at from
the airport and landed at the bungalows. When we emptied
the helicopter we had to divide all the stuff over all
the bungalows. When we finished after an hour orso the
bertram came in. So we loaded of all the stuff that was
on the bertram. At noon there was an other car coming
with more food in there so we had to divide that as
well. When we finally finished we loaded up the dingy
with kitestuff and went down to the kitespot. it was
blowing super nice for my new 9m2. We had soup for diner
and some cookies for dessert. We watched an episode of
Prison Break and when that was finished we had to watch
another episode, but when that one was finished we went
to sleep.
Next morning we put up a big tent so we
had more room to have diner with a lot of people. When
it was a lil later on the day we had a nice kiting
session on my 9m2, but on the end the wind died a lil
and we called it a day for kiting that is, because we
chilled some and went surfing after. When it got dark we
didn't had enough light any more so we went in and had
super nice piece tuna. We watched Prison Break before
going to bed.
Rain......
This morning
when we woke up it was raining, but by the time I could
get out of bed the rain stopped already and gave us nice
blue skies in return. When I got outside there was a
hummingbird stuck under the roof of the porch and we let
it back out. The wind steadied out during the day and we
went kiting. Once done kiting we went back to the
bungalows and had lunch and we hit the waves again. We
had a lovely diner again and Prison Break before going
to sleep.
The beginning of an other perfect day.
The sun was out the wind was blowing and the surf was
up. We started of with a nice and slow breakfast to wake
up a lil bit. When we woke up a lil bit we packed the
dingy and went kiting. I was perfect on my 12m2 and had
a super nice session. After a couple of hours kiting we
got hungry and went back to get some lunch. The waves
where calling out our names so we couldn't ignore that
and went out peddling until turned dark. Took a shower
and got ready to have a nice diner. When we where done
with diner we took the car to some bar and had a
delicious "pain killer". When we got back from the drink
we hit the sheets.
This morning the wind wasn't
really up for it. So we decided to go snorkeling and
lobster hunting. It was so pretty. All those colors and
crazy looking fish. I caught my first lobster with my
bare hands. After seeing about the whole ocean bottom we
went back to home base and figured out that the wind
picked up a lil bit, so we packed up the boat and we
went to another spot this time. The wind was light, but
perfect for my 15m2. It was fun to kite in a different
spot and we had fun. only the wind was a lil on/off and
finished the session with downwinder. Before diner we
watched 1 and a half episode of Prison Break and had a
super nice lobster soup and a super nice curry chicken.
We finished the last half of the episode and went to
sleep.
Today the 28th was my girls B-day. We put
together a kicker and it looks sick! We first did a run
with the dingy full of kite stuff and then went back to
tow the kicker upwind. When it finally arrived we had to
put it in place and stabiles it. When it was hit ready
we had to take the fins of the board and pump our kites.
I went on a 12m2, but it was a lil gusty. So sometimes I
had plenty and the other time I was working it like
crazy. After hitting a kicker for the first time in my
life I kinda got the feeling. At the end of the day I
was doing grabbed 3's of that thing. We decided to leave
the kicker where it was. We had the self-caught lobster
for diner and it was super yummy and a nice B-day cake
for dessert.
During the night the wind picked up
a good amount and when we woke up everybody was on the
move. So we had a fast breakfast and put our stuff in
the dingy. Then went back in the bungalow to put some
sunscreen on and went of to the kite spot. The kicker
was still there. So I pumped up my 9m2 and was nice and
powered on it. After hitting the kicker a couple of
times I chilled a bit on the beach because my arm was
hurting. It felt better after a while and went back out
again. Only this time on my custom board, because it was
to choppy for the kicker in these winds. I just went
high and had a nice kiteloop session together with
Madi.
The wind died a lil bit. So we had to go
out with 12m2. but o well c'est la vie.
Old years
day. The big downwinder. at around 11ish we all got into
the car to drive almost all the way to the other side of
the island. First we had a lil session for an hour or so
and started the downwinder when everyone was on the
water. The downwinder was super nice with some sweet
waves coming in. When we got to the Cow wreck (a lil
upwind from where we normally kite) we stopped for a
drink and some burgers. When we where all set we got
back on the water to go downwind all the way to the
bungalows, but before we stopped we had the nicest wave
riding ever right in front. When we got back in we had
some more burgers for diner. After diner we had a lil
chill moment before we went to the Reef Hotel for the
new years party. 9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.....
HAPPY NEW
YEAR!!!!
The first day in the new year started up
sweet with a nice breakfast and some strong wind. I
ended up using my 7m2. I was good, but I had to get used
to it a lil bit. All was good until I did a kiteloop and
ended up kneeing my chin. So I went in and chilled for a
while. When it was time to go down we made a lil
downwinder to the sweet waves in front of the bungalows.
The wind died a lil when we got there, but picked back
up later on... When the sun was down we went in and took
a shower to eat diner. and we ended the evening with a
nice and cosy fire.
The last couple of days where
super nice. Where there where waves and wind. We hit the
surf in the morning and afternoon and kited in between
there. Today we felt like coconut so we climbed a tree
and got one out. sliced it open and bon
appetite.
This morning we got up early to go
surf, but the it was either a lil bit to early for me or
it where the waves, cause I had trouble catching them.
After a good amount of tries we went back in to have
breakfast and prepare to go kiting. When we got back in
the afternoon we went back in the waves again and I
caught a couple of good once. We had a nice prison break
session after diner and we finished all of season 1 so
up to season 2.
When we woke up we packed up the
car instead of the dingy and went to a place where we
started the downwinder last time and went lobster
haunting, but we didn't found that many so we all went
in accept for Nicolas he stayed out and caught 4
lobsters, so there was our diner. They made a nice
downwinder without me, because I didn't feel like the
downwinder, so I took the car down to the bar where they
where gonna end up. I kited over there for a while, but
the wind was a bit gusty.
This morning was the
morning we left back to St Thomas. We had to pack the
Bertram and we where ready to role at 2ish. On the way
back we had the swell and the wind in the back so that
was sweet. We stopped at Sandykeys a lil island infront
of Jost van dijk and checked out the wind. It looked
pretty good, but it also look super bumpy so we went on
our way and got home around 5ish. |
