Short description of Kent

Kent sits at the tip of the peninsula where the fishing village and the departure point for Banana Island are the same short stretch of sand. Painted canoes crowd the shallows in the morning when the catch comes in, and by mid morning wooden boats are loading passengers instead for the crossing. There is also a modest beach here in its own right, but almost everyone who comes is either arriving from the islands or waiting to leave for them. Chartering a boat here is arranged on the spot rather than booked well ahead of time.
