rcom714 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 In NJ today at Liberty State Park, Paul Dugard and I, along with Sammy, went to fly kites. Did I mention it was blowing 30 easy and steady with gusts over 40. Oh yeah, it was raining pretty good too!!!!!! Some of you have seen my beloved Barnacle Bill. So named because he has wrapped himself up pretty good around some barnacle encrusted pilings. Also many roofs, and other assorted sharp edges. Heheheheheh!!!!! As JB, Bazzer and Ben have all noted, it looks like a kite that has been flown with a lot of love! Today tho, he met his match...... Sammy didn't fly (WIMP!!!!!!!!!!!!) but he did shoot some iphone vid which he will post when the Sabbath ends tomorrow but for now here are a few pics snapped on my blackberry. Have a laugh..............[ attachment=5920:IMG00076__2_.jpg] Guess it's time to up the global rev count some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AldenMiller Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Put that sail in the mail to me and we'll fix it right up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mel, I already made the same offer, I told him to give it to Paul and have him bring it by on the way home... I think a nice pink patch could fix that kite up nicely! -Alden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauranyyfan Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hi Rich- Great job!!!! I know I made the decision not to be out there if it was too bad, but damn, I wish I was there!!!! Between Barnicle Bill's demise and Paul D breaking his 3 and 4 wrap together (while being doubled up!!!!), I missed some good stuff!!!! From what I understand, Paul's bridle went and then the LE.... I wonder how loud it was!!! Bummer..... we do have the weekend at Rockaway, though. Hi MelnSctnLaurel- How's everything? Coming to Rockaway? Nice SDUL!!! You have to try the Zen when you get a chance.... it truly is AMAZING!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveb Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Barnacle Bill looks very fixable, I've seen far worse damage repaired to fly again. Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
