Island Hopping - Heading South - The Leewards (St. Martin to Nevis)
On May 29, 2008 we exited the Simpson Bay lagoon, St. Martin, by way of the bridge on the Dutch side and set a course for Nevis.
Just 3 miles out we underwent an interrogation, by way of our VHF radio, with the (Dutch) coast guard. This was our 3rd encounter with them during our 2 visits to St. Martin. One would have to say they are most certainly "on the job".
We enjoyed a great sail in light (l0-l5 knot) east winds as we slipped by St. Bart's (in the distance), Saba, Statia and St. Kitt's to arrive (after dark) in Nevis.
We are thrilled to find, once again the Southern Cross in the night sky, showing us the way.
