The Weekend

Right so after much taught and laziness i decided not to go to Kerry for the weekend. So Halloween night was spent with Ruth, Janet, Niamh ant the two sproggs or the spider and the Vampire as that's what they were dressed up as. My old story telling tricks were put to the test and success i managed to scare them both. i also burned my hand with a sparkler but Ruth kissed it better for me so it was alright.  I also manged to remind Janet about the tiem she burned my eyelid approx 9 Halloweens ago in the club in Dun Laoighre..hehehe.
 
Saturday was great i was treated to 20knots NNE on Sutton, which was pretty sweet. it was as choppy as Sutton usually is with a full tide, but i managed to find a lovely flat spot up by the end of portmarnock and in front of the Golf club House.  i also did a few tacks up the Baldoyle Basin and it was great, it was like snowboarding on virgin powder. the water was so flat as it was being protected on all sides. had to coem in after about 2 hours as I could feel myself begining to freeze.  (bear in mind this was the first wekend were i was winter Kiting. i.e booties, gloves, hat, thermal rashie, 5mm wetsuit + rashie.)
 
Then Sunday myself Ruth, Becks and Jen went to powerscourt waterfall for  a nice walk. it was actually really cool, considering i was at the Niagara Falls only a month ago i though I'd be bored, but I admit i was impressed. its probably being about 20 years since I've been up there.
 
anyway fingers crossed for more kiting next weekend
