Boogie in the buggy




I met with Ron at Cmac and the winds were cranking. He has redesigned his land sailor and needed to test it. So of course I had to go along and make sure he stayed safe. A couple hours later and it was pronounced a success.
I started with a 1.8M kite and quickly moved up to the 3M NPW. 2.5 hrs, 15miles, and a max speed of 33mph, what a blast.
Here are a couple pics of Ron "hiking" across the lot. Nice!!!
Cut and paste the link for a youtube video of Ron and his landsailor

Kayaking Irondequoit creek



I met Ron and a bunch of folks from the Rochester Outdoor Adventure Club at Irondequoit Bay and we dropped cars and headed for Ellison Park. We paddled for about an hour and a half back down stream to the bay. It was my first time there and I was amazed how there can be such a seemingly wild place so close to Rochester. The day was amazingly summer like and a great way to start the paddling season.
