The Lassithi Plateau at the island of Crete is a wide, fertile plain over 800 meters above sea level, surrounded by peaks, dotted with villages and fields as far as the eye could see. One of the first things we noticed was a row of stone windmills. There were about 20 in view, but once, there were over 10,000 of them! These windmills used to pump water from the ground for irrigation – a lifeline for agriculture here. The Lassithi Plateau has long been the agricultural heart of eastern Crete, with a unique microclimate and plenty of groundwater. Even today, the 18 villages around the plateau live primarily from farming. We flew our drone to capture this sweeping valley from above – the perfect blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity.

http://www.mauiwindsurfing.net Playing around with my new camcorder at Kanaha a few weeks ago, caught a few moments of Josh Angulo and Camile Juban (I think) in what was intended to be a Gun Sails photo shoot, but the wind turned super light and offshore so they were pretty underpowered.
