That would be one heck of a wind, eh? (Ever heard of Domina Jalbert?)

Jalbert designed and built flew the largest kites in history, and was the inventor of the parasail/parafoil. His motivation was to use kites as lifting devices, and of course they also made good sails, parachutes.

(Ever heard of Domina Jalbert?) I googled him. Interesting. We wouldn't get winds like that here in Auckland very often, but they would be quite frequent in Wellington. Auckland has a Skytower. In 4,000 years I wonder what archaeologists will make of it. As it's part of the Casino I expect they will think it is a symbol for Mammon worshippers. But by then Auckland's volcanoes will probably have erupted, and it will be like digging up Pompeii. |
