Beautiful Saturday!

It was a beautiful day here.  Dave worked at 441 this morning and then  around noon, we took off for the beach.  I had packed a lunch and we took our chairs.  We went to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge rest area and then turned back north under the highway.  We parked among the kiteboarders on the beach and arrived just in time to see them land their kites for a while - there just wasn't enough wind.  So we ate our lunch and waited.  The wind came up again and we had a wonderful afternoon enjoying the sun, the water, and those talented people "flying" their kiteboards!

This young man is originally from Britt, Iowa (the Hobo Capital of the World).  He was fun to watch and fun to talk to...he wasn't too bad to look at either!

These kits are really bit.  This one is 13 meters, which would be over 40 feet.  We saw one that was 18 meters - it was huge! 

This guy is from Czech Republic and is a bit of a daredevil.  He said he preferred skydiving, but he'd had a bit of an accident recently - hit the ground a little too hard.  So when it's too windy, he kiteboards!  He was also fun to watch!

We came home, took a bike ride, rested for a bit and then it was suppertime.

More later...
