Doug and Keith on the beach Saturday morning.  Big difference from Friday with winds in the MPH range. (photo by Randy Greenway)	The event moved about 1 mile north of last year's location.  Beach was wider which allowed the competition to take place without the wading.  A good thing considering the temp topped out in the mid-60's Saturday and low-60's on Sunday.	SLK's were pretty well behaved considering the gusty winds.  Exception was the two lobsters and their lifter, which decided to take a trip into town when the afternoon winds picked up.  Everything looked flat in the gray overcast skies.
Kite assembly area.  Doug's new vented Mamba in the foreground.  Vented kites were a must in the killer winds.	John Lutter was there from Kitestop.com.	The layout.  Kitebus Festivals (Terry Murray) sound equipment next to the field and the event tent behind.  On Sunday, the EZ-Up stayed in the bag and everything was run from the event tent.
Some SLK's and banners north of the event fields.  Many folks stayed in the condos directly behind the flying fields.  Nice places.  We were in the DeSoto Hotel about 3-4 buildings north of the the site, about where these kites are flying.  Good alternative to the condos.

The event shirt was an homage to last year's event, including Maggie Engvall's total immersion while judging.  Didn't get the papers wet!
