Learning to Fly

As we fly 35,000 feet above the blue Pacific on our way to Vanuatu, understanding the principle for the lift of wings does not make them look large enough to keep this massive 747 aloft.
 
Now, buoyant on the sea, we are paddling along the beautiful Vanuatu Island chain. Sudden eruptions of sleek fish burst out of the waves and fly on tiny wing-like fins.  They go improbable distances, fast.   

Jon and I sink out of sight from each other as waves pass.  The ocean is at our fingertips and we can paddle to remote waters in these small boats.   With the Lendal Kinetiks, we have joined the vast world of wings.
