It was very windy at Orient today, and the waves were rolling pretty good. The boogie boarders were having fun. There was also more seaweed blowing in than we saw last week.

The windsurfers and kite surfers were flying, although the rental guys had to go out and rescue a couple of them when they went down and couldn't get back up again. I had to keep cleaning my glasses because the wind kept coating them with the salt in the air, so I could hardly see to read my book! Our umbrellas were heavy enough and angled that they stayed in place, but I gave up on keeping my straw hat on.

We had lunch at LaPlaya and really appreciated that they had the clear plastic windscreens to create some shelter.
