(Oh yeah, there was a competition
there too - the Georgia Int'l Stunt Kite Championship)
This was the second WACKOS trip to Tybee for the Fall festival. As you
can see above, they were kind enough to rename the festival in our honor.
Well, they really didn't, but this is our web site. There was a much larger
contingent than last year with Grumpy and Susan joining a whole bunch of
Martins making their way from Charlotte.
Unfortunately, our long anticipated gumbo at the "traditional WACKOS Friday
night banquet at Tybee" didn't happen due to an ownership change at the
restaurant. But we did have a great time at the first annual WACKOS night
fly on Tybee Beach. Several folks staying at the hotel came down to watch
and chat. We even had some of the competition flyers come down for a visit.
We all had a great time and saw many old kiting friends, and as usual,
made a few more.
Now this is what a kite festival should look like! The WACKOS fill
the sky on the fun side of the pier. (Click the image at right to see the
