Right on Bob,

way to slant your view of the ordinary I think that is what you learn from
w#$d.

another option, get a bunch of friends together and camp at the "coast"
campground a few miles down the limatour beach. Camp and party all night
with amazing views, reserve early. Wake up, explore and when the wind picks
up go out and sail. No waves, really not enough wind that day. Had a blast
in the same way you mentioned.

Also, Can't wait to go sail today- is it gonna blow?
