May 9th… finally the weather is warming up.
Saturday was a beautiful day, so we went biking from Kitsilano to Spanish Banks.  We saw a convoy of motor-yachts stretching from Kits Point to the Vancouver Yacht Club.  A very strange site!  We quickly discovered it was the opening day for the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club so the exercise for the day was a “sail past” with everybody dressed in their navy blue blazers and white pants to salute the commodore.

Deb and I parked our bikes to watch the sail past.

It's a very cool dragon kite – I want one!

The tide is really really low, and the sand Spanish Banks sand flats are revealed. Lots of people went walking on the sand… to boogie board, bicycle, wind-surf or just to explore.

Lots of kites were in action.  This is a stunt kite!

Deb pauses at the salmon stream by Locarno Beach.

It's a shark kite!!!

Kayaking lesson off Jericho Beach.

Another dragon kite!
