Sat 27th Feb... weather forescasting

Deciding to over right the weather forecast and trust the Fawkner Beacon reading 2 days in a row might be considered foolish...
However with the kiddies doing circus in Port Melbourne and the wind saying it was 20Knots I thought a downwinder from Rickets to Port Melbourne could be fitted in before afternoon swimming classes.
Got to Ricketts.. looking a little light, ride out and have to really work the kite.. got to go out far to get enough wind to keep going but then get scared that it could run out and Im so far from sure.. so as I get near Brighton I make a run for it and get with in 100m of shore before kite falls out of the sky... feeling lucky for just the short swim and feeling warm in my heated wetsuit and I pack up and walk up to get a lift home.
Home in time to get Bday present for maddy afternoon party ... just...
then a good day and work and video and yummy food with the family after work.
