shared couple of beers, watched the beautiful<br />

night sky and went to sleep waiting for<br />

the morning’s sail.<br />

We headed south from Grenada towards<br />

the islands of Grenadines, where captain<br />

knew couple of nice spots for kiting. Wind<br />

was pretty light during our sail but since<br />

we were going directly against the wind<br />

and waves, catamaran was rocking us pretty<br />

hard. The first spot we visited was not<br />

Wind was a bit stronger, enough for<br />

some bigger light wind kites so we were<br />

able to jump into the water. Liloo did some<br />

cruising shots, Tommy made a nice boardoff<br />

and I managed to get some Darkslide<br />

in front of Andre’s lens, one time even too<br />

close with the spray on to his camera (sorry<br />

Andre!). Forest did also some epic drone<br />

shots, so we could conclude it was a really<br />

eventful day! Even though the wind was<br />

light, I somehow managed to kite for most<br />

of the day so the evening I just dropped
