These are some of the "blessings" being extended to the Bahamas due east of Sebastian Inlet. Who wants to go out and kite 135 kt. wind and 42 ft. seas?* Must be some from all the enthusiasm over this natural disaster. Your blessings are in the process of devastating homes and lives in the Bahamas. It is currently aimed at OBX and the east coast up through Maine in the next few days for more mayhem for a few tens of millions of people.
Sebastian being so far west of the storm track has much milder conditions. "Northeast winds 25 to 30 knots with gusts to around 45 knots. Seas 9 feet with a dominant period 9 seconds building to 14 feet with a dominant period 9 seconds in the afternoon." In squalls winds could go 60 kts. or higher.
What size kite are you going to rig for 25 ranging to 45 to 60 kts. and how much time do you have in those conditions already?
