Having checked out with Customs, we were able to fill up with Duty Free Diesel.
After fueling, we left Marigot and sailed south. Still in St Lucia, we stopped overnight between the two Pitons, on the left Petite Piton, and on the right, Gros Piton. It’s in the Marine park, so we had to pick up a mooring at US$20 for the night. Beautiful anchorage, until the wind came screaming, tunneling around the mountains. After weeks of not a breath of wind at night, the night wind was totally unexpected and continued right through the night. With a deep water mooring in 27m, and sharp drop off, I spent a restless night worrying if Meshugga would drag the Marine mooring, and have it dangling in over 100m of water within 5 meters of dragging.
For Capetonians, it’s the same effect we have around Lions Head.
Take Care
