last island of the trip, but a week to go.
St Barts, wholey crap, we need to make more money and follow super man’s diet. Beautiful people, beautiful boats, made it to midnight atlantic time. Fireworks and spare flares made a great show.
We MADE it for midnight. Okay we had 3 alarm clocks set, and Christine heard them, we hung with the rich and famous and had champagne at midnight. For fu&k$akes, a nap does a body wonders.
I declared today earth day, and we had a nice sail, jib alone over to SXM. We started to set the spinnaker but, the winds were a bit above 25knots and even if we raised it it, given the angle we would have been over the wind limit so, jib alone and still made good time.
Had engines running at idle, so we made water. Both tanks 1/2 full.
Arrived Marigot, SXM and customs was closed. We tried to motor over to Laylas, saw people ashore, but waves and wind direction weren’t right to land the dingy.
Tried by dingy, but no dice.
A shore, nice guy fixing us dinner and wifi.
Happy New Year ..
