04-05-29 cheryl: It doesn't get much better than this. (except if you want waves). You won't get better sand or more crystal clear water. You either have to do a day trip here on a boat, or charter a yacht to get here. Well worth it. A must for every kiter. If you don't get wind you'll love the postcard views.
