I kite buddy of mine from Norway, Jørgen, has been sailing around the Caribbean for 16 months. This Easter I took time of from work and visited Jørgen on his sailboat “Morning Star”. With wind not on my side, I had almost no kiting at all during my trip. Sad, since we visited some very nice kitesurfing spots in the Caribbean sea. Anyway, we had fun sailing and motoring our way from St. Martin in the east, all the way to Puerto Rico in the west.
