No pictures this week I'm afraid, but plenty of stuff happening

1) I went to Wellington for 3 days for work. Landing in a 45 knot cross wind was harrowing to say the least, I think it's the most scared I've ever been in an airplane. Wellington is consistantly rated as one of the world's most dangerous airports, mainly due to it's insanely short runway. Not good.
Following up from this, the next night we had an earthquake! A few hundred kms away but it measured 7.4 on the Rictor scale and kept us shaking for a good 15 seconds or so, with a few pre-quakes! Madness!
I was expecting a volcano to erupt next, but luckily Mother Nature let me off with just the two pieces of excitement.

2) I went go-Karting with work where I was voted "Most Considerate Driver". I blame my slow go-Kart. Ahem.

3) Another house party, this time at a friends so I could relax and not worry about red wine spillage or vomitting housemates!  ;o)

4) On Saturday. my kites took a beating, my 16m was torn when another kite landed on it and my 12m is finally falling apart after many repeated pumellings. $140 to repair them both, which wasn't as bad as I thought it might be! Yay!
Now just to fix my lines, repair my board and get a new wetsuit. It never ends.
I count myself lucky though, on the same day 5 people were injured in the gusty winds with Shane taking the worst with a broken ankle after landing a kiteloop in 2 inches of water.

That's all I can remember for now, I'll take my camera with me more in future as photos are always more fun than a few words!
