Kiting at Artefact - Day 2

The second day at Artefact it rains as 2 o'clock approaches - we decide to wait for an hour, when the rain is supposed to stop - of course, we are not so lucky and at 3 we decide to go up on the roof after all. I have prepared the equipment so that we only need to take up what is really needed, and everything is carefully packed so no water reaches the electronics.

The large hata kite gets wet rather soon, and seems too heavy to get up - I get the small delta out; that one is easier to manage, though I only get it up in the air for short times. The wind is again coming from the east side, so has to go around the highest part of the STUK building. Given that the kite is much heavier as it is wet, the little wind there is cannot keep it up for long.
