68 KITESPOT Pohnpei - Micronesia: a different perspective of a familiar place were all wrong. OUTTER REEF DOWNWINDERS: Once meeting back up with Discovery after our visit at the Nan Madol ruins, Captain Tom suggested we all pump up our kites and do a down winder along side the boat as we make our way to the next anchorage where we spent the night. After all, why ride the boat to the next destination when you can kite?! Pohnpei is surrounded by a fringing reef that creates a protective lagoon around the island. These reefs are filled with life. They are shallow enough that they keep boats away, but deep enough for someone on a kite to be able to check them out up close and personal. The ability to explore fringing reefs on a kite with the support of the vessel has to be the biggest advantage of any kite trip aboard a boat.

ANTATOLL: We had done about as much exploring as we could around the island of Pohnpei so we decided to venture away from the main island and see what the recently designated marine reserve, Ant Atoll had to offer. Ant Atoll, located on the west side of Pohnpei has one of the most unique passes I have ever seen! An “S” shaped path is carved through the reef of the atolls. It’s also the only pass! Normally a shoreline slowly tapers off into the deep blue, but the strong current flowing in and out of this specific lagoon has created an instant drop off in the pass. Dropping instantaneously from
a shallow depth of only a few inches to 80ft, which allowed for Captain Tom to bring Discovery close the reef ’s wall. It was able to get us up close and personal to the breathtaking underwater view. To take full advantage of where we were with the vessel that we sailed, a rope was tied between the hulls on the stern of the catamaran, allowing us to hold onto the rope for a “free ride” through the pass. Each person would jump off the bow of the boat and let Discov-
