4-4 Lincoln (all alone)

Pulled up to an empty beach. Had the poor-man kite problem of not having the right quiver. Needed a 15 m but the choices were 20 or 12. I elected for the 20. Immediately after launch questioned that decision as I could barely hold the kite down, thank god for booties. Dragged to the water and headed out. Fully depowered the kite and worked only the inside section where I could hold a harder edge in the flat water and where the wind is a little lighter. Didn't dare go out beyond the jetty for fear of way too much wind. Wind picked up a notch and being the lone kiter I decided I better head back in before I got hurt. From Jakes post I think Lincoln was the call. I would imagine it would have been perfect for a 13m bow.
