Hatteras April 2008

Here are some pictures from our trip to Cape Hatteras in 2008.

Model Airplanes

I fly with a Spektrum DX7 radio control unit. As a 2nd radio II have a Spektrum DX6.
Here is the current fleet of airplanes.

The first plane in the fleet is a Great Planes Cap 480 Flatout.

 The next is the Eflite Blade MSR helicopter.

  Next is an Eflite Mini Ultra Stick.

 Next is a Great Planes Seawind EP.

 Then the Great Planes Ultimate Biplane.

 Then the Tufflight Bouncer.

 Then a gas powered Seawind.

Kiteboarding

 I kiteboard with all 4 of my children Brooke, Nicole, Sarah and Jamie.

These pictures are from October 2009 in Cape Hatteras NC. This was the first time that Nicole learned to kiteboard.

This was a 50km downwinder from Kite Point to the Washout on a NE wind.

  This is a picture from the May 2010 trip to Cape Hatteras.

We own a 1986 C&C 44 named Mor' Childs Play. She is moored at Collins Bay Marina in Kingston, on Lake Ontario. Here is a video of pictures from the 2009 sailing season.
