Well, praying maybe is a little bit too much, but I’m definitely hoping for that 20 - 23 knots to that’s predicted for the later afternoon to hold on. I’ve spent the weekend in Cairo, a trip I planned, but didn’t exactly fit in my schedule and also didn’t exactly turn out as I figured it would. First my flight to Cairo was canceled. Second, my hotel was canceled because of a no-show.

I did have a nice time though. I moved to the Intercontinental City Starts hotel, which is relatively new and supposedly the best hotel in town. Well, it sure is a great hotel.

I have a connecting flight to from Paris, which should safely get me to Amsterdam by 2pm. I left my car at the airport this time (normally I go by train), and kiteboarding gear is in there, so I can immediately drive to Muiderberg. That should leave me enough time for a decent session.

The earphones work very well by the way. The sound is just great. They do not block external sound as well as the Shures, but the sound quality simply is a lot better.

[update] no wind today and even if there was, it was an easterly, so no chance to do some boarding at sea–it’s an offshore direction. There might be some tomorrow though…
