Bahamas Week At The FKA!

Portions of the western Bahamas may be experiencing a wind break just like parts of Florida. Perhaps the trades are freshening up in the central and SE Bahamas though. Even if the wind is light over your way all that clear water still offers other appealing activities.

In honor of the Bahamas three feature posts have been brought up to the top in Kiter Buzz. There's even a shot of an incredible sand bar in the Exumas in Still Life. Funny thing is you have MANY more spots as good as or even better throughout your hundreds of islands. Question, have you seen other sand bars like what they have off Musha Cay? What other great spots have you explored?

Have fun over there!

Hey Rick, The sand bar your talking about is called Galiot Bank (not sure how to spell Galiot). I have never kited there, but now that i think of it, you could do some serious speed runs there in a SE wind!!!

Thanks guys. I had a good look around Musha Cay for this sand bar and largely came up empty. The image contrast is a bit funky in googleearth. Then again, the probable locations in the image suggest that these sort of bottom features may not be that uncommon in the Exumas and elsewhere in the Bahamas. As they say, just add wind. Say Chris, are you seeing any trade wind action lower down in the Bahamas? That is assuming you are back in the islands from Florida.

Hey Rick, Yea I'm back in the Exumas. We haven't had much trade wind action for the past few weeks, maybe 10 kts at the most. Had some serious weather with rain and lightning past week but its cleared up now. I hope to get some wind soon!!!!

I'm going to Long Island for few days, leave Monday and come back Friday. I will take a good look around and hopefully be able to shoot some good photos.

I'm hoping the forecast won't change.....I'm bringing my new 16m Thruster with me !!!

I'll see you guys when I come back !!!
