Go Fly a Kite

Kite surfers at dusk off the Tobago Cays
If you've never seen this before, this is called Kite Surfing and it is taking the world by storm...

I first witnessed this sport during a competition in Mombassa, Kenya in 2005 and have been mesmerized by it ever since.  Scott is currently obsessed with it and, despite never having done it (yet), has been researching it for the past ten months or so.  He's going to be getting a kite surfing set up when we are back in the states and, knowing him, he'll be really good at it in no time.  Scott is a natural athlete and there are very few things he doesn't excel at once he puts his mind to it.  I can't wait, because once he's good enough - he'll teach me and we'll do it together!  But for now, the baby and I will be in the "chase" dinghy watching him fly which is just as well because it's almost as exciting (and incredibly beautiful) to watch!
