Tuesday 3/19 Swamp


  • Looks good for today.  I can't get out until this afternoon.  Because it was so cold the last 36 hours, the water will be cold, be careful.



  • Launching from boxorn, are you kind of screwed if you can't stay upwind? Doesn't look like theres an easy way to walk back up to the launch huh?


  • @Mitchell Noyes 

    Box horn is a drift launch only site for newer kites or if you are alone. The water is shallow so you can walk in most areas close to shore. Many of us learned to kite there. The bottom is very soft and mucky but you can certainly walk back to the launch. There are a lot of cattails and reeds near shore which can destroy a kite, but if you avoid them it is fine.

    You do a lot more board dragging back up wind than walking. Walking is just a major workout in the mucky wayer.


  • I don't think I am going to make the treck to the swamp. Wind seems really up and down and I am not really interested in drift launching today if no one else is there. Have fun those who go! Jacob
