Another lovely day. Although rather windy I was still able to go in swimming again but had to keep close to the rocky groyne in order to avoid the choppy sea. After, as I was sipping my hot chocolate the 'Sporty Brigade' started to appear attracted by the wind and waves.

| Getting everything laid out |
 |
| Then pumping up the frame |
There is quite a lot of preparation before a kite surfer can set off. The kite frame is pumped up then the lines have to be unravelled and laid out on the sand
 |
| Kite ready...... |
 |
| Almost ready for take off but kite has to be turned over so it doesn't blow away while the lines are laid out along the sand |
 |
| kite is launched and surfer has to get on his board |
 |
| .......and then he's off |
It's amazing how fast the wind / kite surfer's grapevine works. By the
end of the afternoon there were about 10 kite surfers and 4 or 5 wind
surfers and still more were arriving, At least this is a quiet sport
unlike the jet skiers! Ileft them to it as I had to rush back to get into 'land lady ' mode as I had guests arriving about 5pm
