Isle Maitre had a swank resort, but the island was still cute. The water turquiosey and clean. There was a regular ferry that brought foot traffic over to Kite board from the city. This island was only a couple of miles away and with the regular service, it was a no brainer for a quick getaway for the day with locals packing some water wings and a picnic lunch.

It also had the free moorings and lots of them. Boaters trying to get away from town in the dark had lots of difficulty picking up moorings, prompting lots of light shining on moorings from helpful neighbors. Yep, we had a show. A few times. Some gave up and anchored off. By midday there were many moorings occupied and we slipped ours to head back to town. Who knew there would be a slalom course with us weaving in between the dozens of SUPers, paddling like mad to catch the waves and surf miles downwind to a far beach. We could also see many kites flying in the distance, with Kite Boarders ripping along beneath them. This is surely one seriously active community!
