"It is written:
'If we rely upon mother Tara sincerely and with strong faith, she will protect us from all obstacles and fulfill all our wishes. Since she is a wisdom Buddha , and since she is a manifestation of the completely purified wind element, Tara is able to help us very quickly.'
I hope, been carving a lot lately . Even brought out the vulcan simulator and surfed the lawn as my wife calls it. Possibly a little wind up here tomorrow, better days are coming."
(Photo, blog post, and carved Tara herself courtesy Mike Jamieson, who when he says he's been "carving a lot lately" he ain't talking jibes. Check out more of his brilliant work here. Meanwhile let us see if Tara can put some wind on the water!)
Yes there is a light at the end of this long windless tunnel! I've always tried to convince myself that the longer a windless spell lasts, the odds of a good windy day or period of windy days greatly increases. So hang in there, good days are coming. I'm hoping September will be the magic month!

Buddha was at Bannimans Island today between 1100 and 1300. 7.0 pretty solid with a few lulls which isn't too shabby for a Hudson valley summer day . I had heard somewhere that watching windsurfing videos before a sesh actualy improves performance. Phil Koester gets hospital air, I probably played a dozen times. Today, instead of knee high air ,I got boom high. Better days are coming
