with all my projects and keeping me going when I thought I'd had enough.....Posted Image So here we go 2011 and I'm healthy and I'm happy and " I'm off and

here's a teaser Ben for your last trip of the calendar year 2010,
happy new year's eve <Soca style!>

Watch out for their big kites made with 1.25" aluminum square tubing as a frame. This kite had a rig built onto a pickup truck and it was so wide (as a load) that both travel lanes were necessary to transport it to the event. Hey!, ... they come down just as dramatically as they go up, <HA!> so keep a sharp eye out my friend, safety considerations are so NOT in effect in the 3rd world!

Hotels and business establishments can't hardly keep trash bags between Thanksgiving and New years eve in stock,.. they mysteriously vanish are turned into kite sails! Every conceivable size, almost always the same basic shape and proportions, materials, construction techniques, etc. You'll be amazed at their kite building efforts working with stuff we'd all throw away!

Bazzer's Flame masterpiece was a huge hit last year. On your "off days" there's some decent beaches around to chase folks on also, I liked Pigeon Point the best.

Valerie expects some greatness out of the folks assembled. Make sure you blast 'em away with a performance worthy of the expense. Then clear the heck out of the way, INCOMING is common announcement over the PA system!
