Riding the Wind

Spectacular skies have become the norm while Shawn has been visiting us here in the beautiful islands of the Grenadines.
The wind has been light but the night skies incredible and while we are hoping for some wind so kite boarding can commence my camera has been busy and I am loving the digital age! 


Finally a favorable weather report and we are heading out to the more remote anchorage of Frigate Island on the south west shore. First a last pit stop to top up on fresh veggies, fruit, beer, and one last roti for the road. The produce stands of Union are tourist priced but colorfully displayed so shopping is a visual as well as palatable experience.


On his last day here the weather gods finally deigned to provide adequate wind for kite boarding for Shawn the snowboarder now in the tropics. Ready to go with all his new kite board equipment,  setting up on the beach for a launch requires a bit of work.  

Pumping and untangling and Dad all the while ready in the chase boat just in case. 



Fortunately he seemed to get the hang of it pretty quickly and lamented that the wind became perfect on his last day of vacation. 

A goodbye sky……
