Be carefull on Ann's Beach. Its a small beach and used by both kiters and tourists. Lots of kids can be around as well.
Also, predominant wind direction pushes you downwind into a high current channel and bridge. If you drop, cant relaunch or cant stay upwind in general, you can/will get washed under the bridge. Not a great beginners spot on your own IMO. |

Good to see you in Islamorada last night Noel. Good point about avoiding the bridges. The Keys have had some great conditions for several days in the customary calm time at the start of the summer.
A kiter was pulled underwater by his kite when the tidal current carried it beneath a bridge some years back. The submerged lines passed under oysters on the piling and pulled the guy right under. He would have died down there drowned if a fisherman hadn't dove in with a knife and cut him free. This was the bridge directly north of Whale Harbor.
