What’s the Buzz?

November 2nd, 2007

A brief timeline:

Tuesday afternoon - Andrew calls to say that his new High Energy harness has arrived.

Wednesday afternoon - We meet out at spring and he gives his new set up a bash.

Andrew managed two quick sledies in the light breeze. Great launches, approaches and landings. They weren’t the longest flights but the look on his face was priceless.

He’s hooked.

Now if we can just get a few seabreezes happening his enthusiasm will do the rest.
