Puffins at Sebonac Inlet? The watermen? The birds? Yes to both!
With a supermoon high tide and up and down wind (I was on a 5.4 and 93 liters...powered then gagging, powered then gagging) the wingers were on the water first (John Nat and Christian, while Dan had been first and was already derigging) before Scott, Pav and I broke out sails, and some kiters weighed their launch options.
There was some dredging going on by the little inlet to the east, turning the water their to muck, so we mostly sailed towards Meschutt, launching from the beach to the west of the road (the high tide was running up to the road on the eastern side so the usual launch was NG.)
I saw two or three puffins shoot out from the inner bay (Bullhead Bay)...it has been a few years since I've seen any so Hurray! The puffins and maybe six runs was all I'd get out of the day before the wind dropped to send me derigging. Still grateful for the water time!
