\n\t\t\t \t\n \"image_10\"\n\n \t<\/a>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/p>\n

1. NEVER fly your new kite from the top deck of your boat while the wind generator is still up and rapidly turning . This will result in:
\nA. All of the kite string being \u201ceaten\u201d by the aforementioned wind generator.
\nB. The new kite will be swiftly recalled by the wind generator blades causing a sudden\/abrupt interruption of power generation aboard the boat.
\nNote to the above, it takes a REALLY long time to unwrap new kite string from a windgen. I never knew that nearby boats could express laughter by sounding their horns. \n\t\t

\n\t\t\t \t\n \"image_9\"\n\n \t<\/a>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/p>\n

2. NEVER continue any activity (such as #1) when the Admiral says \u201cI don’t think that this is a good idea\u201d. Continuing said active will inevitably result in
\n3. \u201cI told you so\u201d. Although this phrase is heard several times a day aboard our boat, I sometimes feel that it can be overused to the point of ignoring (or ignorance, you decide).
\n4. When in doubt, Always refer to #2.
\n5. Extreme boredom during a windstorm can (and most likely will) result in something similar to #1. Resist this temptation unless you want to hear #3.
\n6. I have never been accused of being an Einstein and employing #1 has not brought me closer to that accolade. Oh well, at least for a while, my new kite flew really very well and I’m thinking about what to do next to improve it’s behavior. I’ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nCaptain Bubba<\/p>\n
