Westport
Looks like we should have excellent conditions up here tomorrow. For those souls brave enough to venture north, here are the directions to the launches.

Re: Westport
Thanks for the info Rob, will have to join you up there at some point - especially if things don't start to shape up around here.

Re: Westport
I just came in from a somewhat terrifying session...LOL The wind came up out of nowhere... from 10 knots to ???. To say I was over powered would be an understatement, maintaining contact with the ground was somewhat of a challenge. Now that my heart rate has returned to normal and I'm safe and warm in the house, looking back, it was kinda fun. Where's the scotch???
Be great to have some company up here though... if anyone wants to head up let me know, Ken has my number.

Re: Westport
How are conditions up there now?
It's been pretty quiet on here lately, so I'm assuming not many people have been kiting. I would like to get a session in soon, but it won't be happening around Kingston. Wondering if a trip up that way would be worth it.
Crossing my fingers.

Re: Westport
I just came in from a little session in the slush... but the temp. has started to fall and it is freezing up. We're also getting a little snow as well! I'm going to give it a go tomorrow (Sunday) If its worthwhile I'll post it. For the predicted 'westerly' wind, the launch would be "Forresters Landing"

Re: Westport
Well, lot's of wind, a crust of snow (albeit not a thick one), nice sun shine and 'warm'. I'll be out between 10 and 10:30 at Forresters Landing.

Re: Westport
In from a really nice 2 hr. session. If anyone is thinking of coming up - bring a small kite! I tried my 4.9 Blade and didn't stand a chance with it...lol There was just enough "stuff" to hold an edge though and they are calling for 10 cm of snow so conditions are only going to improve now. Ice is 14 - 20 inches thick,
