Awesome Nitinat Weekend

Post by extra_chrisb »

We had a great time in Nitinat this weekend! A group of people rebuilt the sauna and it's amazing. The weather was decent Saturday and Sunny Sunday with winds peaking at 30 knots. Monday was rainy but we all went home with smiles on our faces. I put some pictures online at www.kitebytes.com

And Dale was in a shorty? I know body mass/surface area makes a huge difference, but the water really must be toasty!

I was thinking Nitinat must have been a washout in the pouring rain of Sun/Mon, but its great that there was wind anyway!

Actually, the water was very warm for mid-May. Surprisingly warm. I don't have much of a layer of blubber to keep be toasty in the cold. Maybe the 25 C temperatures helped.
I wish my TOW was longer!

Your Morton's Toe must be photoshopped. Otherwise I would call the Guinnes Book ...

And I may have unruly hair, but at least it doesn't go completely wacky like Russian Doods!

I think mortontoes should be amputated :evil: Put an end to this abomination!

Sorry Dave. It's my fault. I'll try to be good! :D :D I appreciated Chris' post about the conditions at Nitinat and I certainly checked in at his website to see the pics. (I also appreciate all the concern for my toe, but I will refrain from talking about it in the future)
