Cape Hatteras is sick!

It's now 4 days we have been down here in Cape Hatteras now! Its been great.

Wednesday night we had a 13 hours drive from Rhode Island to down here in North Carolina. Left at 9pm of Wednesday and got here at 10am on Thurdays! First thing we did once here?? Watched a tow-in surfer first, and rigged our 4.7 second!

Wind picked up as we got here, and we freestyled all afternoon in the Avon Sound with a super fun 4.7 breeze. The wind was perfect side shore and the spot is one huuuuge bay waist high all around. And unbelievable...we sailed in a shorty!!!

Friday Mike got here and we moved in the house right on the water! All day long pefect for 3.7 and wind from the opposite direction, so it was way colder that yesterday. I think we sailed for something like 7 hours non-stop!!! (on a side note i landed some clean ss chachos!)
Then at night Mike set up some super pro night lights to illuminate the spot and we sailed another hour or so at night! Sooo sweet! Videos should be good!

Saturday was pretty light and muuch colder!! We still got some good ones on 4.7 and 5.3.

Today, Sunday, there has been no wind. Checked out the local shops (Ocean Air Sports and others), and worked on this damn school paper...haha

Tomorrow looks good though!

Davide: was that your first trip to Hatteras? I've been there prolly 10 times, it is a windsport paradise! Sux if you're there and the wind doesn't blow, which happens, but then you're OK if you've got some cool folks to just hang out with, eat and drink. I think the scenery if fantasmic.
