We are in IGY marina in Simsons Bay Sint Marteen and will leave this morning spending tonight at anchor before sailing to the BVI's. After Antigua we spent two nights at anchor in Barbuda in company with Moens on Northern Star and Patrick on Circus. Snorkling and diving and looking for lobsters-  only caught one but better than none!
next stop was an overnighter at anchor in Gustavia, St Barts from whence we sailed to Sint Marteen.
Two days spent here mainly doing maintenance. We replaced the anchor chain which was rusting badly and I no longer felt confident with. It was the original chain so has served us well. Also we had to replace the propane gas hoses as they were rusting and leaking. A difficult job as our installation was European and everyone stocked American!
