Hi Peter,

I know this was an old post, but i had some extra time at work, and was doing some reading. In the spring of 06, Manu Bertin from France kited across the Atlantic Ocean. a three-week, 2,700-mile journey from the Canary Islands to the French West Indies. Is this due able at Nitinat???

Well it’s funny that you should say that, because I was thinking about maybe a Vic- Maui attempt in 2008 too tie in with the yacht race that summer. I think that you would need 3 kitters, and im looking into a safety boat already. If your interested drop a post.
