VITALS As there are few direct flights to Union Island in the Grenadines (it’s also what makes this place so special) we usually start the trip in either St- Lucia, Martinique or Grenada. Most frequently used kite sizes are 10 to 12m for guys and 7 to 9m for girls. If you want to travel light, we have a selection of the latest Duotone gear available for rental. The sea is crystal clear and warm all year round. No wetsuits needed. You might want to bring a rash vest to protect from the sun. Local beers on offer in the small markets at reasonable price. For more choice, you might want to purchase your own beers before coming on the boat and keep them chilled in our fridge. Enjoy freshly made meals prepared by our chef. We pride ourselves on offering the best local ingredients, and adapt to all dietary restrictions. Don’t forget to try a rum punch at Happy Island! | 47
