Restoring Faith In Human Nature

[naomi24]

A nice little story.  One of the wind-surfing community my husband knows came adrift from his very expensive board which duly went sailing off by itself in the North Sea.  A month later he got a message from someone in Denmark to tell him his board had washed up on their local beach.  
 

Had anything restored your faith in human nature?

Haha. Ta Naomi. However   ...

// their hands hang on to the kite ropes. // Their hands do not hang on to the kite ropes, they would need superman's arms.  Besides the bar which they hold onto for control of the sail/kite, there is a further line that is attached to a belt or harness around their seat or waist. The kite power is transferred through this bit of the rig. There are a number of different rigs but the princilpes are the same. We watch them wind surfing and kite surfing on the West Shore in Llandudno and some of the exponents are brilliant. It is a bit of a hot spot there for the sports and the International and competition surfers turn up most weekends for practice meets and the odd comp. I would have loved to have ago but now sadly beyond my physical capabilities.

Togo, just saying they don't hang on to the board.  My husband is one of these loonies.

Does he come up to the West Shore, Conwy River, estuary Naomi?  Some days down there we watch kite surfers, wind surfers, and both hang gliders and power gliders who launch from the Great Orme nearby. Fascinating and colourful spectacle.

We're planning to come to Wales again sometime this year, Togo.  I'll let him know.  Thank you.

I have no faith in Human Nature, a crappy pop singing group, if ever I heard one.

PP, it wasn't a rotator cuff injury. It was a torn supra spinatus, along with torn ligaments, which has left me with something called a "popeye muscle", according to the physio. Anyway, I avoided the physio and opted instead to buy a dart board. No good at darts but it did help.
