coming down to Ft Myers area week of 4/6
Hi, I will be down in the area next week . We're taking a houseboat outta Ft Myers and heading to Sanibel, Captiva - staying at tween the waters marina and then heading up to Cayo Costa. I'm a fairly new kiter on the water, done mostly skiing snowboarding up her in WI in the winter. Can any body give me some good ideas for kiting around Captiva or Cayo Costa? Thanks

I would spend some time on google earth zooming in and panning along the islands and with NOAA nav charts for the area. I would then talk to local kiters who have been there ideally or at worse with marina staff or others knowledgeable about the area. The wind might be from any direction but if things run to normal, may be out of easterly directions more than others. If a strong front comes along it could honk strong out of the NW though changing your riding and boating venue. Latino with www.swfloridakiteboarding.com may be able to help you with some more local info. Some weather links for the area appear at: http://fksa.org/showthread.php?t=6737 You can find more info by searching this site under the various island names. Have a good trip!

Thanks for all of the great info Rick. Since we're on a houseboat, we will always be anchored on the East Side of the islands and we will be mainly north of Sanibel Light. We do have a dingy and some kayaks to get to other areas. Looking forward to doing some exploring down there and getting out of the snow and into some warmer water.
