Ocean City, Maryland, Early Spring, Whale Kites

---

Ocean City, MD is town on the sand barrier island known as an oceanside playground for visitors of all ages. Summer is the busy season but personal commitments brought me here during the spring. One of the most amazing kites was this huge whale — my estimation is that the kite was close to life size (although certainly not as heavy). Which brought to mind two questions. #1 — How do you launch such a large kite? #2 — How do you hold onto the line once it catches the wind and flies freely?
