The above is a fairly good account of the reality of kiving on St Kitts.
But you will enjoy the island- the sea, the sun, the sand and the people are friendly.

you can buy fresh fish fried by the ferry terminal quite reasonable, and especially on Friday nites.

Beverley's floats with salt fish may be bought after 11 am by the telephone cubicle in the Circus in town. I found it great for the money.
