Kap suprise

[mystainedskin]

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

Great pictures. Looks like a really cool place.

Agreed, some nice shots there, S.

Something about KAP'n from a dock, makes for some good material. I shot from a dock in a marina recently in some iffy winds... I was really close to dipping the camera a few times ! Underwater KAP, anyone ?

I tried dipping mine a few times before servos were put into the equation. But the time lapse was set at 2 and 5 seconds....missed it all
