Arrival of the Planet Solar in Tahiti

The Planet Solar is the first solar boat expedition around the globe only using clean solar energy. It was scheduled to arrive this morning at 09:00 AM in Papeete and I managed to find a boat to take me for a short KAP session. The problem was that there was no wind at all and the skipper had to make circles around the Planet Solar to keep the kite (and the camera) up in the air.
I knew an helicopter was also coming with the press, I spoke with the pilot and he was nice enough to leave me 10 minutes before coming close to the ship.
I like the association of Solar Energy and KAP (my only disappointment was that I had to use 200 HP outboard engines to make some wind...)
