Getting back in the groove of things....
-
Todays journey started with all intentions of Rev flying on a local pier with floating docks. Upon arriving and waiting for a few folks to move...the wind got funky..eventually dying off. I managed to squeeze some water play and a little flying in..but not enough to even get the camera set up. After a few dips of complete stillness and nowhere to run...I decided to Kap instead of slice my sail on barnacles. It took about an hour to finally get the Triton up high enough for some liftable air. At approximately 350'..viola Never say Never. With all good efforts come rewards! After much running and fighting bugs and the wind....here is my prize. ........a few were too large.I will resize and post up in a bit.

A local spot with a large dock. Sort of at a turning point in the river for large ships. Don't get to kap here often due to confined launch area unless wind is right or blowing real good. Large parking lot to launch from...but surrounded by trees and sometimes pretty difficult to get up without launching from the dock.Once up....free to roam wherever you want. This used to be all river beach years ago and undeveloped for about 2 miles from rivers edge.. Excellent spot to throw the cast net when shrimp were running. Now it is developed completely around except for this park... St. Johns River Jacksonville, Florida Reddie Point

Found a local spot not far from home browsing Google Earth. Who knew? I have lived in my town and state my entire life and never had a clue this was here. Dutton Island Preserve a.k.a. Pine Island. Jacksonville,Florida. The journey starts on the entrance road to the island. Although not alot of recovery room to either side of the road, great spot to catch the wind in the intracoastal waterway. No powerlines...no anything. Then I ventured on the island. Found 2 small docks and a larger one...which i quickly headed out on. Trees along the route called for a dock launch and land with absolutely no where to run..but the wind was in my favor and direction. Had a few more pics ...but too large and i am lazy Always nice adding and finding hidden gems...all because of kites and the constant need to feel the wind. 1 line or 4

So I got the new camera. GoPro 3+ black and immediately made a rig from the packaging that night. The following day I met a friend who is a hard core kap fan (kapnut) in historic St.Augustine,Florida for some fun. He was nice enough to provide me with a loaner kite..a Fled. As we all know, I felt naked and 3 lines short What great fun! I pushed about 400' of line out and my new camera floating in the 300' range at one location (cross is 280' high)and walked the sea wall next to a historic fort Castillo de San Marcos and down the road along the sea wall with water on one side and traffic on the other.. Close to 600 pics total on a 5 second time lapse. The highest I have ever flown a slk...much less kite and camera. Most of the pics are fairly large and haven't had the chance to reduce the size. So here are a couple for a start. Unfortunately, these had to be cropped to fit the size requirment and keep the detail.

Has anyone found a good way of attaching a GoPro to a rev?
