Great test of kite skills yesterday.
The wind was spotty but as you approched Berkeley it got better.
Sylvia and I picked up a dozen downed kiters who got caught in the holes that clevered off the tail end group twice. The first group was on the gate side of Alcatraz with not a breath to fly in (although the sensor reads don't show this). One kiter was plucked from the beach @ Angel Is. The second group had the windless hole chase them down just off of TI. Those that were in front group had the better wind.
It was another really fun KWS event and the post downwinder party was a lot of fun with tons of personal adventures from the day being shared.
When is the next one?
