The days still cold but daisies start blooming, beautiful days, our souls full of hope of the coming season. The windy season when all of our friend come out and gather on the beach, at East part of Tripoli city, at Regatta. Talking about forecast, talking about new equipment, talking about new comer want to start learning, talking what should be repair or should be bought. It was at the last weekend before the revolution day, we heard one of our friend from Italy talking about the rumors of demonstration on coming Thursday 17. At home we got email from the Austrian Embassy to be prepared with food and drink at home. We start to search for extra gas for cooking and we realized that all the gas bottle station is closed.
Late spring and begining of summer is our best time of windsurfing in Libya. It is the time we always want to be in Libya. At 14 Feb we have very good wind coming from North West, it was the last time we met each other. Many gather at the harbour since this is the spot for this condition. Kiters and windsurfers. One of our friend have a feeling, 'we have to enjoy this day maybe we cannot do it again after 17 Feb', Gerhard said. We celebrate Valentine Day in china restaurant later with one of our windsurf friend. We celebrate good selling windsurf equipment at that day.
Now we know that Gerhard is right, and our heart is sunk, everything is up side down, all the planning are ruins, and we missed our good friends ever, our friends in the water.
