This morning Tom Tate unveiled the 'Plan B' cruise ship terminal location, 1/2 a nautical mile jetty extending out to sea from Phillip park.

Some Gold Coast kites including myself enjoy doing down winders too or from the spit because there are only 1 or 2 sets of flags over a 6km stretch.

So if the proposal gets up looks like we will be doing a long tack out to sea (which may provide a cool piece of scenery kiting near a cruise ship) or alternately some mad dog may balls up and boost over the thing stir up a media controversy and cause the authorities to have a hissy fit.
