Kite flying from the ship

[WillieD13]

Has anyone ever tried flying kites off the upper deck of a ship? Do they object for some reason? n?

[Valentine's Mom]

no sorry

[AdrenalineRush]

Some cruise lines allow it

Disney?

(I am being serious by asking)

I believe today's rules are that NOTHING is to go overboard into the ocean. A percentage of kites certainly would end up in the drink.

 

Then they'd be all oily and unfit to give back to your kid.:rolleyes:

Well, maybe we could go fishing instead. Reminds me of another thread from long ago....

[CrusinCyndi]

I bring bubbles...they work just as well

[cb at sea]

Don't bring a kite...unless you're going to fly it on a beach...not on the ship.

I saw someone flying a kite on the Legend 5 years ago. But I believe they made him stop after a crew member saw him...

I sell Chinese Fire Lanterns at my store and thought they would be really cool to let off on a ship. Guess I better leave them at home. At sea you would be able to watch them for a really long time. Every component in them is bio-degradable.

I did it back in 2001. A security guy came to the back of the ship to see what I was doing, but he never said anything to me.

 

Now I think, wouldn't swear to it and I'm not gonna go look it up, but now it is a no-no item.

Well, we never flew kites from navy ships but we used to drag a net from the back as we sailed. Caught a nice dolphin one evening. Man! That gave the crew a nice dinner the following day though!:D

We did it off a Mississippi River paddlewheeler Mississippi Queen. The boat provided the kites. :D

I'm pretty sure the security drones are programmed to say "No" to anything out of the ordinary,... except chair hogs and unruly kids in the pools, hot tubs or the elevators.:D

The funniest thread ever!

[JerseyshoreBruce]

Even if you were allowed to do this i am sure the wind would rip the kite to shreds. Don't forget besides the normal wind your moving along at a good speed! Would never work unless you were parked!

YOU SAID IT! Chair Hogs, and unruly kids and children in the adult pools/hot tubs and elevators are THE ORDINARY, so they say nothing!

 

Back to the subject at hand. We never flew kites from military ships, but some used to tie their laundry to ropes, and drag them through the wake to clean them. Came out really STARCHED! :eek:

Well, once they've swilled down 2 suitcases of smuggled booze and run up a $2000.00 bar bill as ALL smugglers do, you never know what they'll do!!!:eek::eek::D:D

Kite flying might be a good thing in that situation!!

I always wanted to bring a kiddie fishing pole with a plastic fish on it ans set on the back of the boat to see if anybody said anything.

Maybe after I drink my $2000.00 bar tab ill try it.
