Leigh flew down from Baltimore (around 25 degrees Fahrenheit) through Miami (around 51F) on the 11th, arriving at Rodney Bay to a welcoming squall but temperatures well into the 80's. Hooray. After a lovely late afternoon swim and dinner on board (goat curry and a long overdue callaloo soup), we spent another night and day and overnight in Rodney, and then took a short (three hour) sail to Anse Chastenet, where we made a lunch stop at the resort restaurant, had a snorkel, and had a walk between their two "private" beaches. We decided to try our luck at finding a mooring around the corner near the bat caves to the south of Soufriere, and we did indeed get lucky, though the nature of the luck may be in the eye of the beholder. The roll was (ahem) a bit intense and the wind died so we spent the night being alternately turned on our heads, being banged into by the mooring ball, and alternating between too warm and too cold. No matter - it's still a lovely spot, in the shadow of the always awesome Pitons.
We headed back south after JP and Susan took another quick snorkel
and came down to an outside morning at Marigot Bay. We came ashore for a light lunch and so Leigh could download some files (one out of two accomplished - oh well); we'll head back to Rodney early tomorrow as there is a big blow coming.
Here some additional photos from my first few days back.
