8:30 am and code 'boat' gets me into Blue Lagoon gated Marina after long 3 years absence. NW 20-35+ winds are cold and very gusty. JB and I rig the WS gear 4.7 + 4.6 and get in a very good 2 hour session. Nice waves with the higher water and fun couple of jumps and jibes. Up next 12m kites that seem to be too much but as the wind slacks over the next 90 minutes it turns out to be right move. Mako fun and got up to MacRay for a close in downwinder on the coast back to BL. Fun day and it was all over by 2. Tomorrow should be HI and more of the same.
