What was left of the wind came in from the sea. But I could see the forecast was spot on; it surely was dropping.
No problems picking the kite, the light wind one. And after some time fiddling with the bridle settings I was satisfied and off for some flying.
…or… Flying…? In the current conditions bit felt more like guiding the kite rather than flying it. There was just a whisper of wind now and lots of body work needed to keep the kite in the air.

Here’s a quick videographic summary of the guiding.
