Hey guys, here’s a list of my favourite spots we’ve been to so far. I figured I should put it in point form since I’m obviously not the storyteller my sister is. I hope it does justice to each place. Enjoy!
5. Iles Des Saintes
Compact buildings & roads; very European
Most houses are just 2 steps from the road
Not many cars, mostly scooters
Amazing airport where planes take off directly over the open ocean
Gusty kiting
Great snorkeling (a lot of fish in a small area); found 20 Euros on the bottom!
Saw an iguana while walking out of town
Many goats at the fort on Ile Cabrit

4. Frigate Bay, St. Kitts
- Anchored in South Frigate Bay
- Dad and I walked about 10 minutes from South Frigate to North Frigate Bay to kite
- Kited in large rolling waves, fun session
- Ate lunch at Mr. X’s Shiggidy Shack
- Saw lots of sand dollars and starfish while snorkeling

3. Norman Island, BVI

During first scuba experience saw a small sting ray the locals call “No Tail”
Many different snorkel and dive locations
Dove at The Indians, Spyglass Wall, and Angelfish Reef
Saw a shark while diving Angelfish Reef!
Saw a sea turtle while snorkeling The Caves

2. Portsmouth, Dominica
Took an island tour around the Northern half of Dominica
Tasted cassava bread in the Carib reserve
Tried local fare
Swam in the Emerald Pool (waterfall)
Dense green forests everywhere
Took a tour of the Indian River, saw a boa constrictor and many iguanas
Tried fresh grapefruit, coconut, banana, cinnamon right off their trees
Attended a weekly cruiser barbeque where they served chicken, salad, rice, vegetables, and lots of rum punch… good times!

1. Green Island, Antigua
Most beautiful water colour
Outer reef protects the anchorage which makes for great flat-water kiting
Anchorage looks straight out into the ocean
Could also kite outside the reef where there were some fun waves
Kited 8 out of the 10 days we were there (the old guy made it out 10/10)
Learned a bunch of new tricks
Great snorkeling
