Paul, Kathi, and I showed up from ABQ; there was a guy named John from SF; and doctor Steve from Taos. Leeches on 5.0s and 5.6s were heavily twisting... I recorded a 36.3 mph on my GPS. And that was on a reach where I had to unhook to keep from blowing up. I never got to comfortably pull the trigger. I think 40 mph is totaly obtainable in the relatively flat water on the upwind side of the lake.
There were also about four kiters there, which tried all day to get dialed-in. Peter Wilson and fam showed up late in the day. I didn't see it happen but Peter somehow wound up on shore and his kite was draped over a car. He got his bell rung pretty good and was last seen on his way to the hospital for stitches. Hopefully he'll update us and say there was nothing seriusly injured...
If if makes any of you that opted to go to Cochiti feel better, yes there was a downside -- we had to breath smoke from an upwind house fire for a while. But since the wind was so strong, the smoke passed relatively quickly... ;^)
