With no wind on the first day, we went for a SUP (Stand Up Paddle) session and a walk around the Giens peninsula.
From the eastern tip of the peninsula, we could see the island of Porquerolles... I must confess that for a couple of years I'd been dreaming of making the connection to Porquerolles by kite, so even if the forecast wasn't very good, I was hoping that the next day would offer some wind...
On the beginning of the afternoon of the second day, a breeze from the East started to blow, so we headed to the La Badine spot, hoping for some luck. As soon as we got the gear ready, a steady wind started to blow and, against all odds, I managed to fulfil my dream and go to Porquerolles and back by kite!
(I didn't take any photos on the second day, so Olive gently offered two from a very similar session he recently did to illustrate this post)
(with all the hurry, I also forgot my GPS, so here's a rough sketch of our session)
