Lucky you, that is about the only easy north wind spot on Key West. I checked it out online earlier in the year for some strong frontal winds but concluded that without a military ID I wouldn't get on the island. Hope they don't sell it either and have fun down there.

Actually kited the last 2 mornings here in Islamorada. Yesterday on a 12m and today on a 17m. Always bring gear! If all else fails, head to Keys Cable at mm 59 or paddle boarding and wakeboarding with Otherside Boardsports!

Glad you got out! Still the forecast is light up here (5 to 10 kts.), a little better down your way on Sunday. It is supposed to nuke at 10 to 15 kts. So, if you're heading down take your big boards and kites and you might get some wind time in. Why not throw in the diving, a trip to the lighthouse, some kiting, cable park and hang gliding too (if Paradise HG is still at Whale Harbor?). No end of stuff to do in the Keys.
