Kitesurfing

We finally were able to go kitesurfing again. Just pass the hotels on the northwest end of the Island is the kiteboarding and windsurfing beach. By mutual agreement with the windsurfers the beach is open for kiteboarding between 8AM - 10AM and 4:30PM - sunset. We were able to go both times. Julie had a refresher lesson and I just rented a kite and board. The wind has been pumping a consistent 20 to 30 knot since we have been here, so it was a lot of fun.
We conveniently anchored Cisnecito just off the far end of the beach where it seems is the only place with sufficient depth for our draft. It is an easy but wet dinghy ride to the beach and hotels. We have been leaving the dinghy on the fisherman's wharf which seems to be fine.
