Life in the Lagoon

Watching the flow of boat traffic at bridge opening times became a pleasant pastime while in the lagoon.
The Simpson Bay Marina and Yacht Club, located just inside the lagoon, is a popular stopping point for a huge number of mega-yachts. We anxiously watched as they squeezed through the narrow bridge opening to gain access to the marina. The lifestyles of the rich and famous always keep us curious and entertained.
On one of our visits to the Sunset beach bar, at the end of the airport runway, we were surprised to find the swell, coming out of the north, washing right over the road; adding even more excitement to the "landing" experience.

Waiting at the Witch's Tit

We based ourselves in the Simpson Bay lagoon, St. Martin, while awaiting mail delivery of a replacement battery for our laptop. We used this opportunity to pursue warranty repairs on our Lewmar windlass, which had once again failed, this being the 2nd time in less than one year of ownership.
The lagoon area offers many comforts and amenities for cruisers, with easy dinghy access to both the French and Dutch sides of the island.
Our anchorage location at the base of the "witch's tit" hill offered us an excellent view of the wild goats who appeared to take great pleasure daily in watching the sunset from the hill's peak. Their constant bleating made them hard to ignore.
