MELTEMI TIME

at last meltemi started and it is hollowing .
it is always nice when this north wind picks up in the hot summer months
and you have this unique feeling of the breeze cooling your face
 that is really connected to our summer here in greece  .
so i took the boat to catch some wind in andros the closest island to athens
the forecast is superb and should have 2 days freestyle and 1 in a secret spot
with waves if everything goes according to plan
there is a camera here also so i will try to keep you updated

ps it is already blowing for 4.4
off for some kabicuchi training :)
