Kite Day 2014 (Nantucket, MA)

In 2014 a Kite Day was held on Nantucket Island at Great Point. The day began with an assortment of activities including yoga and sailing. In the late afternoon everyone gathered for an evening of kite flying & a BBQ on Great Point.

The journey to Great Point requires a stop to deflate the tires before the pavement ends. It was the maiden sand voyage for the Big Red Jeep that had been recently resurrected. She performed extraordinarily well keeping pace with the other red head, Pocomo Red Rover. The group arrived at Great Point light as the sunset began to paint the western sky over the dunes.

Colleen & Andy, after some comical attempts, were able to launch their kite (CK - Collapsible Kite). CK flew well, her tail helping to keep her straight in the wind. She must have been hot in the setting sun as she dove into the ocean multiple times, requiring help to make her way out and into the air again (a great example of a Charles Lindbergh).

Chris & Phoebe were unable to launch Flipper (received as a gift) due to a lack of kite string. However, CK rested so that Flipper could get some hang time. Finding no need for the aquatic life, Flipper stayed in the air without incident. As the sun finally set, Flipper was brought down gently into Phoebe's waiting arms. The night continued with a fire, dinner and great company.
