    Default Aerosail anyone?

    In my constant search for lighter than air adventure, I ran across this guy. He uses a blimp/dirigible to fly in while using the winds and a sea anchor to lend control. It combines sailing/wind and flight, very cool!

    He also had a very COOL pedal powered blimp that would just fit in my back yard . . . but that is another fantasy/dream, still crazy after all these years . . .

    Perhaps you should publish this over on the Aerodrome also, if you have not already done so.
