Alan Kiteboarding |
Today was the first day for me to get my kite gear out and try my hand at the world class kite boarding location at Kite beach Cabarete. This beach is one of the top 10 places in the world to kite year round due to the steady flow of tradewinds and protected reef. I give it a go and swallow a lot of salt water. My 14m kite was not holding air so I had to use my 10m kite which did not quite have enough power in the 15kt wind. I made it work and had a good time dodging all the other kite boarders. One did cross my lines and take me out at one point. But besides that, it was a fun day, with many more to come over the next few weeks we are here. We pack it in and head back to the villa, shower up and decide to go to "Le Bistro" but when we got there, all tables were full at 7:30 with at least an hour wait. We walk the boulevard and decide to eat on the beach just up from Ojo's at a place called Latin Wok, an asian food place. It was on the beach, the moon was full, the music was plentiful, and the food wonderful. Another great dinner out in Cabarete.
