glad your Ok It was a beautiful warm sunny day I think we had some doming that keep the wind away as the day warmed up. still fun got to buggy for a bit, surf for a bit, life is good. count me in for next weekend, actually i'm off wednesday hope its windy and warm.

Mark, Jim and company were buggying. I don't think it came back up. Next weekend is still a possibilty as far as I'm concerned, with a (long term) forecast of 10C and lots of wind.

Comment by Ted on November 8, 2009 at 3:24pm: we're all glad to hear that you got stiched up alright. But what about the board? Is the board ok?!?

Comment by Simon on November 7, 2009 at 8:01pm: Lots of wind in the morning - dropped off around 3 I think... I rode from 930 to about 2. Martin was there when I got there, and riding when I left (at about 4). Jim was on the water for a while. Then he joined Mark on the beach buggying.

A wave threw my board into my head - I got 4 different opinions on the beach and they ALL said it didn't need stitches. I stopped in at the hospital on the way home... 13 stitches!... Jeez guys, you're not good doctors at all! Ok, I lied, it was only 3 stitches, and the nurse said she thought it was boarderline between needing or not needing stitches.

Comment by John Verbakel on November 7, 2009 at 5:55pm: I was tied up today too. How did it go?
