25 January

 

This is why we sailed the Atlantic........

 

We moved around the corner into the next bay which is guarded by two enormous pinnacle mountains - The Pitons

 

Once more we were helped by a local boat 'boy' - aged about 45 - to pick up a SMMA mooring - you are not allowed to anchor in the park - amongst a couple of very large motor yachts. Following a quick snorkel we dinghy'd ashore to the Sugar Beach Club - and enjoyed sundowners amongst the rich - mostly Americans

 

The scurity guard who met us asked which boat we were from - exclaimed - oh the little one......somewhat humbling

 

This is the St Lucia of the tourist books and why people come here. Beautiful white sand and a gloriuos resort. Rather be on our little ship though

 

Wonderful sunset saw us having supper in the cockpit serenaded by the beach band
