went to the park at Fulton Harbor, slight breezes, but enough to launch rev I [one of my favs] flew under the street ghts for a hour or so ,, winds would crash, dropping the kite periodically, county deputy stopped to ask "you ok?? as i was sitting in chair with kite flat on ground--- "just flying my kite and texting my pals" --- he was shocked -!!- should have told him i was a certifiable windjunkie and needed my head examined!!????LOL--
a good spot to fly on 60 footers, breezes usually in over the harbor and boats a little dirty but manageable --

Thanks for sharing this... What were you flying?
And, any chance you'd be up for adding it to www.kitemap.org with a disclaimer about the field space and conditions?
