Sport Today

I've just got back from 2 weeks in Ontario and (apart from the tail end
of the hurricanes) the air was really still, does anyone in this part of
the world fly kites? If so how?

As a kite flyer I notice stuff like this though I didn't take any kites
with me. I thought it odd that I felt so little breeze. Perhaps it was
the calm before the storm and it was that no-one was able to fly in that
time.

Anyway, I'm just curious.

There is some crazy guy out here in B.C. named Ray Bethel who is supposed to be pretty good.
I guess we get a little wind out here because Ontario sucks so much.

Back to ice fishin'

Good day, eh

b) That's what SUL/indoor kites are for...times when there's not enough
breeze for anything else.  Trust me, though, you'll find wind at various
times in all the provinces of Canada...

Ontario is quite big, so you should be specific about where. But you're right,
this summer has been pretty poor for winds. I sail too and didn't get much
opportunity to do that either.

 We typically get better conditions in the spring and fall. The winds are
starting to pick up now.

What the hell are you talking about? I just spent 2 weeks in the most
briliant place I have ever been!

I take it you've never visited England? I can't deny parts of England
are beautiful and some are pretty unique to this part of the world but
Canada has just so much open space and beautiful space at that, I'd
emmigrate if I could, just to spend time in the woods!

This may be true.  But when it doesn't suck it blows.

So, take off, eh?
