I had a memorable bike ride once in Florida. The terrain was very flat and as I rode along on my trip I thought “this flat land is great, I’m really cruising.” Then on the ride back I discovered that I had a tailwind on the first leg and a headwind for the return trip. It was like riding uphill the whole way back.
Used to do that with my mom’s big winter coat when roller skating. The California Santa Anas would blow hard and all I had to do was open my arms out wide and let the coat act as a sail. When skating up wind, I just kept my arms close to my side. It was a blast!!!!
We had a LT who thought it would be a great idea to fly a kite in a dust storm while standing on a skateboard.He ended up in a trash dumpster, about 1/4mi down the road.

just you wait until the wind gets stronger and blows the umbrella inside-out

Yesterday he got the umbrella when he found out they were on sail…

Unless the wind changes, the ride home will not be as easy.

Driving with no hands, in gusty winds! Baldo always amazes me, how he gets away with things!

Did he sing a shanty while opening his “sail” to the wind?
