Saturday 6/7, DC to Strawberry, big kite day

[RonBert]

Stopped by DC while picking up more drugs for the head cold today, around 2:15pm, and saw several people heading out on big kites. I saw a 16m heading out, and maybe another that big out on the water. For the short time I was there, it was blowing little white caps and looked consistent across the surface. Point forecast showed zip for DC today, but pays to go see. …Got down to Strawberry/Ladders (in about 30 minutes , and clocked a constant WSW @ 13-16mph; and no one but the fishermen enjoying it. At the cabin on the reservoir, 10 minutes south of Ladders, my wind flag was flapping horizontal (~14mph), but since about 5pm it’s kicked up a bit and started to wobble the flag pole…Suppose to blow WNW @ 18-20mph at Ladders Sunday. Hope my head is cleared up; there may be no choice but to get after it!
