Yo .. Larry ..
I was goofing on the net .. You Tube. Did a search "sailing".
There was a video of this sailor who was single handing .. but the camera
was way up high looking
down on his boat. I thought "what".. then I read the video info.

He had this cool kite with a camera attached. He was filming himself and
his boat sailing using a kite!

So.. I am in my garage .. goofing .. and I see this pile of stuff left over
from a former tenant's yard sale.

What is this .. a KITE.. One of those BIG KITES. The kinds that look like
an airplane. The kite is made
of NYLON.

I plan on launching the kite from my little craft this spring.

I'm not going to put a camera on it,, but maybe a flag or one of those flag
like long things..

Is there any rules against this?

As I sail past Kennebunkport with my big kite flying from my boat .. I will
let my big kite sign slide up the kite line.


GEORGE BUSH SUCKS!


Then, when the blue lights of the security people start coming toward my
boat .. I will

let my other sign slide up the line ..


LARRY TOLD ME TO TELL YOU!

Must be a heck of a kite for $725,000.



That's only $50K in 1980 dollars......sadly.
