visited home on the Chesapeake Bay (the Elk River) for the fourth of july. The week was not particularly windy, but we have a full wealth of water sports to entertain in all conditions. Highlights of the week included:

- my first kite session back on the water this season (since last year's accident)

- lots of arm workouts attemting to wing in minimal winds

- numerous entertaining falls on the pump foil, behind the beat and off the dock. not much success off the dock every, but we were all minimally successful (a pump or two) behind the boat by the end

- flying a hull on the Hobie!

- my first "attempts" at a 360 on my wakeboard, one resulting in a very gentle fall and one rattling my head so hard I felt it for the next 30 minutes

- a double rainbow over our rainbow-sailed hobie (this would have won the cover contest FOR SURE if any of us had a phone)
