Winter's on its way back (maybe)

Date: 1/23/09
Place: Cosmo Park, Columbia, MO
Kites: E2 on 85' lines
Wind: gusty 15 mph
Weather: cloudy, 40-degrees

Very different flying conditions than yesterday. The heavier gusty wind was probably due to a cold front moving in. I'm still amazed that Missouri can get such nice 50-60 degree weather in January. (not mentioned is the 10-25 degree weather for the rest of the days)

The kite was much harder to launch. There is a launch technique I found out about later that I'll have to try (and try to explain) next time I have heavier winds. Still I had no major problems and it was fun flying in different wind conditions.
