Day 460: Big Wing, Little Wing

We’re still here at the Quinault Casino, hopefully our last day here.  It was a beautiful day, so we went out on the beach.  B found a nice kelp strand:

We brought out the kite (AKA little wing):

Sadly, it looks like I wont be able to fly at Copalis airstrip during this visit.  The winds were really strong out of the west yesterday, and tomorrow will be really strong out of the east.  Today the winds were in transition, but it was still gusty and 15+ mph in different directions throughout the day, so I decided to stay on the ground today.  I did get out the big wing and practice some kiting.  All the clam diggers have gone home, so we pretty much have the parking lot to ourselves:
