At first this shot caught my attention as it's a beautiful boat, a serious blue-water cruiser. Then I noticed the line in the foreground from the boat to the camera. Clearly the photographer is at the end of it but I can't figure out how. Ideas anyone?

I'm not familiar with kite photography but in this instance it does seem that the camera is upwind from the boat and sails. How can you fly a kite upwind?

Ah! Here's a clue:

I think you've got it. Spinnaker pole high and out to port. Halyard through the pole end and cleated to control it. Still it took some guts to take it. That boats shifting
