The GPP 2017 kite is a replica of Stormy Weathers'
Swift Victory star, version 1996. Scott's choice of project. Any size, any color,
any material. Just be there or be square. What a successful project. |

What a wild and stormy day on Fanĝ when the group assembled to fly their
masterpieces. Each assembled their entry (some with help, some with wind
protection, one back at his"camp" and flew it down the beach to the gathering,
and some just crazy out in the open). |
3 out of the 5 official entries with extra entries. |

And the fifth came walking his kite down the beach (a bit late but it was worth the wait). |

Notice the lack of other kites in the sky. Not too many. This is on Fanĝ.
Blowing pretty hard. Swift Victory reigns! |
