Thanks again,

Roy is a good guy and has been windsurfing/kiteboarding in the area for a long time. There are lots of available areas along the Gulf. It would be best to avoid congested tourist areas still there are a lot of potential launches on the outside and to a lessor degree on the inside.


Some of the sheltered and open water riding areas. There are also quite a few sand bars on the inside. The launches on the inside can be a bit tricky for reasons that Roy can explain.



This a view from the southwest of the lighthouse. That is the mainland in the distance behind the lighthouse to the east.
