The one time I rode Crissy, (about '03) had a blast! Made a long tack out to get back upwind to come in as it was getting late and POW, leading edge blows. I'm in the middle of the Bay at dusk with the Megaships. Managed to keep the kite in the air for several minutes, it would fold up and drop, catch wind and open up, fold up and...etc.

Party boat fulla drunk businessmen, curious about my tricky kite pull up and ask"you wanna ride?"

HELL'S YEAH I WANNA RIDE!!!

Several cocktails later they drop me off at the wharf. Happy happy. All that clean livin paid off!

Woulda had to swim to Alcatraz and wait for a tour the next day. Kiteman of Alcatraz!
