Sail in the Field
It was there – in the middle of the field. A perfect, blue sail on something like a ship wreckage. A few people around it recording and measuring with geodesic like instruments:
I saw it coming back from Kansai airport (from the Port Island Liner). The field is actually free of development land left between the RIKEN Next Generation Supercomputer (you can see it behind) and the Kobe Port Island Birds and Flowers Gardens. I don’t think it’s a real sail though. The gossips goes there is a kite’s company nearby. And indeed you can see sometimes people “playing” with them in the meadows and recording something. But there were no sails (no sails until now). We do not know the exact purpose of the kites this company creates. May be they just want to create the perfect kite – the one so light and with such a perfect shape that it will never land once released. Anyway kites or sails it must be really a cool job (hard core fluidic engeneering with mathematical modeling and kites releasing afternoons) and it definetly makes our island at least a little bit more cheerful (not just yet another biomedical cluster:)).
