Lost at sea


S.O.S

Be on the lookout for an 11m NEO blowing south from the Galveston ship channel on a course to Mexico.

A case of lost kite at sea. This is what happens when you fly in offshore winds without a kite leash. A valiant attempt to rescue was made. Phil ran to his truck, donned his wetsuit and paddled out on a surf board...to no avail.

Flashback to 1994, when I lost Katy's gift 12 foot Sun Oak delta to sea when I flew it on too light a line. We helplessly watched it blow untethered, not touching the water until it was out of sight.
