Late start today.  The northerly breeze was reasonably consistent so we were on full 1.5 sails with race rods.  The kites were occasionally over stressed.  Mid vents would have worked better…

It was cloudy with the forecast suggesting brighter intervals during the afternoon.  The weak cold front passed over with a visible thickening of the cloud but no precipitation.  The following clearer sky was tantalizing in the distance but we succumbed to the cold and headed for home.

The sun broke through as we turned past Victoria Park on the edge of Hackney.

Now we must get the team set for the Berck 2017 100 fliers project.  My suspicion is that if the French fliers turn out in force this really could succeed.

Too bad it is so far from the west coast of the USA.:( Money (lack there of) and lack of passport make this impossible at this time. But we did prove in the 81 fly during practice, that a column of 10 is doable!! And using 120' lines!
