My New Kite Boat

Goodbye little red bathtub. Kiting in Chatham 7/16/16   Hello little gray bathtub. Kiting at Horseneck West End 8/5/16 My old boat was 10'. My new one is 11.5'. Just big enough to get myself into some real trouble. I'm sorry to see the old red boat go. I have such great family memories in that little old boat. Josh's boat is still bigger than mine.

Egg on my Kite

I've been using my teency tiny inflatable boat to kite off the grid a little. I'm drawn to the wild, secluded spots like South Monomoy. I can't kite there anymore, (legally), so I'm doing some exploring and poking around for new venues. Egg Island, near Kalmus Beach. I launch from the sand bar at low tide and kite in the kiddie pool. This bar is exposed for only about 2 or 3 hours before and after low tide. The main beach in the background would be an easier launch but it's off limits. It has massive signs saying so and a guard actually patrols the beach. I can't say I didn't see the signs. You can read them from 10 miles away. Is this spot worth all the effort of boating out here? No, not really. I just like the challenge of finding a way to kite an otherwise inaccessible spot.
