Distance Covered:

Took a boat trip to a white-sand island in the middle of the Red Sea. Got ferried to the shore for the day - just 6 kites had the whole island. Huge lagoon of flat water, but the wind was bang offshore - a new experience and a little unnerving!

In the morning the wind was a bit up and down, and sometimes it was a struggle to stay upwind without straying into the deep water. After lunch on the boat, the tide had dropped and the wind picked up to 25-30 knots. At times maxed out on the OR1, popping some huge (well they felt like it!) jumps, in crystal clear water, surrounded by turquoise seas and white sand - paradise!

On the way home we had a school of dolphins following the boat as we drank sundowners on the deck. Al - I think we need 6 stars on the site for days like this!!
