NASSAU, BAHAMAS

- day last spring to what appeared to be flock
of voracous, eere-colored falcons lowering
pretty girl snorklers in the water below. A hasty
investigation revealed that crazy water sport
had just been invented
The kick, certainly boon to lazy swimmers, is
called kite-snorkng, because its principal equipment
consists of kites and snorkles While peerng into the
bue-cysta world beneath the sea- the snoker bitches
himself to prevailing trade winds via kite sailing high
overhead. The more kites your string, the faster
you snorkle along
Dover to CoIois by kite!
'The idea actually born in the English Channel
during World War L. says Will Yolen, word-renowned
kite connoisseur who helped introduce the sport.
'In littlepubcized experiment to prove the pulling
power of kites, Colonel William Cody, American
officer with the British Army as kite instructor, sailed
from Dover to Calais in canoe tugged by kite.
Before that hardly anybody knew you could navigate
with kites except Portuguese fishermen For centuries
they've been hostng them auxiliary sails for their
sloops"
The new falcon kite, created by Ed Hanrahan of
Baltimore, has double appeal: first, it boasts more
