Got about 3 hours on the Duke and the 12 Pivot via Rick and Josh Ellis. Fun day from 2:30 to 6:30 on water at Strawberry Island. Winds 12-25 up and down with SSW to W flow. Got some great turns in on the Duke as well as some strapless pops. Sun and 80 degrees made shorts easy and the water fun guessing it's 73 degrees out there. Ended with the boat chasing me 1 mile downwind into the main river mouth where the wind was 50% blocked and let the kiting end. Fun day and by the chart showing metro would have been a bad call.
