Beach, Jeep, bonfire, grilled burgers, Rage 4.7 until the fog rolled in... All in all, a pretty good night..

That is a beach in RI where we have a permit to drive. The intention that night was to sleep out overnight, but the forecast was for rain in the morning, and the idea of breaking down a sandy and wet camp did not appeal to me... So, we headed back just prior to midnight.

It was interesting flying the kite in the fog. The winds were maybe 10-12 MPH, and once the fog rolled in, the kite became very sluggish and 'heavy' fairly quickly. Upon landing, I found that it was totally dripping wet and saturated, and it wasn't up that long after the fog came in. It was way wetter than I would have guessed, so yet another lesson learned..
