I suppose you were windsurfing. I've never seen anyone windsurf with a porch umbrella for a sail, boldly charging across the bay like a cross between Admiral Nelson and Mary Poppins. I was amazed -- you didn't just sail downwind, I swear I saw you tacking. You, sir, are my hero. I wanted to tell you so, but alas, I was on the shore. I had so many questions. No, I really only had one question (why?) but it seemed like a really, really good question. Every time I went back, I hoped to see you again, Umbrella Man, but alas, I have not seen you since. Should you happen to read this, could I trouble you for the story behind your brave voyage?

That's cool 8)
Reminds me one of the out-take shows I saw, a Hurricane in the US of A - Reporter to Camera getting blown around and giving it the usual patter about how bad and dangerous the situation was........
............and behind him passed a couple of fellas on rollerskates - holding a sheet of board between them as a makeshift sail 8)
