Another early rise but quite lazy morning, not helped by the discovery of hundreds of little ants crawling around various bits of the van. Ant baits acquired at Woolies and deployed in strategic locations in the hopes of heading them off at the pass. Grateful for the conversation about ant control in caravans with the couple we met on the beach in Point Sampson. They had tried various options to get rid of their persistent ant problem and felt that baits had worked best. We’ll see!
Kite surf lesson revised to 1 pm back at Pelican Point. Greeted on the beach by Customer Relations Officer Miracle Dog (aka MD, BD (Beautiful Dog), etc) and escorted down to the office. 
This time we were flying a 4m and a 6m kite, again getting the feel of kite control and learning how to relaunch the kite once it crashed into the water (which I’m afraid it did with dismal regularity with me). Did reasonably well (Chris was powering along, as expected) until had to try to body drag with the kite pulling me along, at which point things turned pear shaped. Apparently you aren’t supposed to be swimming to assist the kite, and it definitely isn’t helpful to forget about the kite and accidentally pull too hard on the bar. This seems to result in kite overpowering and leaping forth in the wrong direction to impact with the water somewhere it shouldn’t…. not good really. Oh well, perhaps things will improve in tomorrow’s lesson (12 pm for another 2 hours). I’m to be relegated back to body dragging again though, presumably until I get it right. We will both get to do something called “self-rescue”, which sounds like a useful skill to have. We shall see…..
Woolies BBQ chicken tonight……
