Had a great sesh today in A town...kinda freaky...felt like May. Been kiting for two seasons now so this seems unusual, yes?

I know! Right?!

Wish I'd been out there, just drooling at station readings.

I know, was working in Alameda today and felt the old familiar pattern stirring - kiting wasn't an option today, but I remembered the days from years ago of having gear in the truck and being ready to go at the slightest sign. I even checked wind in the afternoon and saw 16 which is a great number at Alameda, good wind...

I thought about Alameda but opted for the Toll Plaza. Awesome day--I was powered up on my 9m. You know it's good when you finally have to stop because you're tired, not because the wind died.

I was looking at Berkeley readings and thinking about how amazing TP must have been! I wonder if you get any better view of the area from the new Bay Bridge span?

Already in the high teens and gusting into 20s at Alameda. Maybe the new bay bridge opened some kind of intergalactic wind portal.

Got a pretty good view. Apparently the new bridge is good for the wind
