play365 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hmm!? Oh well, I had the light wind moment at Victoria Park today when it became evident that the kite had been in air moving in one direction but was abruptly in air moving in the opposite direction. Admittedly the wind speeds concerned were not very high but it was disconcerting to see the curvature of the lines reversing.

Felix Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Tuesday turned out OK once the wind swung around. Peter Lynn and crew flew a 'very large kite' on somewhat more than four lines. Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Final day with strong northerly wind but many fliers have gone. The crowds of the last few days have vanished so it should be easier getting out of town heading for the ferry. One last mega team and arena spot ahead of that...
