We had another very windy day yesterday and an even windier night last night. Needless to say, not much sleep with the trailer rocking and rolling all night long. Below is the wind chart showing the wind speeds here on the island. I think we hit the beach about 9am and Matt didn't get home until after 3pm.

See where the numbers spike through the roof... we were trying to BBQ outdoors at that point... Nothing like sand flavored steaks... |
We had planned on grilling some steaks on our little outdoor grill and thought we could sneak it in before the cold front hit... Well, we miscalculated and the 40+ mph gusts actually pinned the trailer door shut on us and we were afraid we would not be able to get outside. It is amazing when the front lines hit down here, the wind goes from nothing to blowing unbelievable gusts. Usually no rain or anything, just wind, wind & more wind.
Matt enjoyed some great kiteboarding both in the surf and in the flats. I took my camera down to our beach here at Isla Blanca and took some photos of him enjoying the waves in the morning.

Now that is a BIG grin... |
