First stop for the kitejammers was Cowwreck Beach where they could again enjoy the perfect catering, with view on a picture perfect bay.

This night there was a dress code, costumes were obliged and the participants showed astounding creativity with their outfit. Rumors go that the party lasted until early morning hours and not everyone made it back to boats without getting wet….
