A bit on the choppy side, but the water temp is perfect, the vibe is outstanding, food? Excellent all n all a must see...
No vehicles, everyone walks..Ha, now there's a difference!
It remains untouched by hurricanes..
Just thought I'd share...
I have some photos, yet remain baffled by the image process..
Cheers

So ok...
For starters, if you are a dyed in the wool, rabid kilter with little regard what the venue provides over and above the the wind and water..f*** don't waste your time, go to Tenerife, or the islands like Antigua....go kite...bust a move, fucking loop it next to shore...you be smiling and beguiling the local talent..
I only mention this place for the over all experience, it blows best in winter, say December though May...August is the pits, gets going again late fall.
There's a reef so no waves, and depending on direction ( north to east is the norm) it can be great to on the choppy side.
I ordinarily do not pimp sites, f$ck you guys find your own spots. I'm doing this for the locals-- great folks who live off tourists..
The place rocks for atmosphere and seafood..rooms are from shacks for 35 to 50 us. dollars a night to 700 a night for the ritz...
Well shit that's enough...
It takes a jet, a puddle jumper, and a panga ride to get there...
So anyway..
Cheers and feliz ano!
fo
Ps. There's kite rentals and lessons ( sand swami enough said ) fishing, snorkeling, dive shops, and first class dining...don't forget...no vehicles allowed..you walk, and really that's pretty special....out

If I were to wear my "I'm not Fo" t-Shirt in this lovely spot would anyone understand the deep, metaphysical undertones?
....
Are the locals even aware of the significance of this human being that is walking and breathing amongst them?
....
Do not want to have another James Jones in the tropics if you please.
....
Or maybe it's like when Orson Wells fell under the Brazilian spell,
...
and his genius was compromised...
..
but his cucumber was naturalized....

Careful Chemo,
I may just blow your world famous artist cover..
If you poor suckers only knew who is behind that strangled syntax...
I do, and I'm in awe...not in the verbiage but in the sheer fluidity and scope of the talent..
He too has had his genius transferred to his pickle and with it stirs the occasional KF brine...
Read his texts, in them you will find more wit than you have brains to grind them on..
Cheers!
