Blow those karts

I could be wrong, but it appears that Papamoa is the world centre for Blokarting, the sport where a sail is attached to three wheels and the wind does the rest. All was going well until we sat in the kart all prepped and ready to go when the wind died down to a whisper. Fair play to the two guys running the place who were determined to get us going and pushed the karts in the hope that the wind would carry us on. The furthest I managed to get was one complete lap before slowly grinding to a halt, and no amount of me pushing would get the kart going on it's own. I'm still not convinced how you get it to go into the wind, but I'd definitely like to try it again on a windier day.
