Tethered Airfoil R&D

  Monday morning I met Philippe on the access road and we took a
beachcombing tour of detritus.  When we got back to the fighter kite
demo area he presented Johnny with a ghastly, sticky, sandy, smelly
lei of kelp and a purple childs' sock (on a stick).

  The rest of the fighter kite crowd were begining to assemble so we
had a major fighter show&tell session until the onshore wind picked up
a bit and we spent the rest of the day flying.  The guests got dragged
away to a dinner with the local business people in the Elks club so the
rest of us went up to the ball park at the opposite end of the access
road for some evening flying on grass.

  Robin and I were invited to dinner with the Hsiungs and Basir.
We stayed late and got silly.  Michelle was some kind of dinosaur or
other and being fierce and taking mock bites out of everyone.
