impromptu jet down to Jekyll on SUNDAY AM, 1-5pm. missed u Angus.

seemed about 12-15mph.

ALL SEEMS GOOD ! nice NEW access park! new convenient/gas/DQ store

the PARKING is connected to black beards(the name my have changed) parking lot.

and a few seriously low helicopter fly-by's.

place only needs MORE KITES!

I'll be there Wednesday PM, Thursday and Friday.
Kitefort resevation confirmed!

Just got back from the T-shirt Shop. Chris/ PokiteTrash will be especially pleased with this years' design, I think. Heh Heh

Oh, and then there are the "Shipwreck Run" shirts available to those (for a modest cost) to those that come back to camp with one of the pennant flags that will be planted at the shipwreck site on the southern tip of the island. Phillip will recognize some of the imagery.

Chad, glad to hear you made it Jekyll to see the new park and new environs. More to come. Sorry to miss you but I was inflicting random acts of customer service to unsuspecting shoppers at the local Lowes. Sux to drive to work and see the smoke stacks at the Georgia Pacific plant indicating a strong on-shore breeze that I have to miss. Yeah, Blackbeards is re-named "Fins on the Beach". I changed all the JIBE Website references and maps but it is still bound to cause confusion to the newbies.

You're on it (you, not the man-boobs)

Cool -- I'll be famous! No autographs , please...

Groupie party at the Kite Fort!

The blue moon brethren....

The Blue Moobs

Hmmmm. wondering how much fun this is going to be, will I be able to handle it!

It is SO rewarding to find those stretches of beach where you see you are in the clear for more than a mile ahead of you. Making it around the corner to the shipwreck is quite an accomplishment. The wind angle I had there last time was like a slingshot coming back home from around the corner on the south side of the island. Faster, faster, faster. At first, we were working upwind to make it to the corner, then as you go around the long curving beach we ended up on a downwind reach and that just built on the apparent wind you already had going. Unreal. I'm jealous of the riding and all the people that will be there.

BB....you need to take a week and come too! JI misses you man....besides, i wanna steal your buggy for a shipwreck run!

I already have it penciled in for next year and have been talking to Angus about some details. I won't be moving in May next year.

Awesome! Wow, I'm going to be busy next year....better start sweet talking the boss....

Less than 2 weeks away! Wooooooohooooo!!!!

I've been putting 1/4 tank of gas each paycheck in the Kite Fort to filler up getting ready for the drive. Lets see--food or gas... Hmmmm. Tough call.. :dunno:

65 gallon tank:ticking:

Oh, well, Its worth it!

Kite fort: a lot

Gas: $4.00 per gallon

Flying on Jekyll: priceless

Getting close now! I got to learn to fly all over again.

Put up a kite a couple weeks ago but it was in a bad spot and didn't do too much.

Think I'll go lay a couple out and look at em.

If anyone is planning to be there early it looks like I'll be there on the 17th early afternoon. Nothing like an extra day to fly!! Sooo...if you are coming early let me know and we can hook up and fly!

Yea, we are planning on being there the 16th.

There will be a Ted and Holly McKibben from Maine this Saturday. They are renting a cottage on the island for the week.

Noon on the 18th for me.

OOO!!! Blue Moon and Blokarts!

i will be there noon on the 18th- with the family- Andrew is very excited to fly in a seabreeze again and Devan has promised to try the zooter, Carter is looking forward to getting a tandem ride, so i am hoping someone is bringing a tandem setup or at least a hitch i can hook to my buggy. Cant wait to meet some more of you all.
Scott

I am bringing my old hitch (tested on new buggy) and am working on an upgrade. Who knows I might just have two hitches. :-)
