After a rather lumpy overnight trip from Virgin Gorda we arrived in Sint Maarten, the Dutch side of this interesting island. I slowed right down for the last couple of hours to arrive as the bridge into the lagoon opened and we dropped the pick and got some sleep.
And this is a great place for crew changes as you can take the dinghy to within 5 mins walk of the airport. Leslie flew out on the 14th, she was great fun and a fine cook but has gone on to other things. I wish her well. A couple of hours later in flew Marci, who is a professional chef, so I don't think I will starve! And the next day Jill arrived from PR, she has lots of catamaran experience which will come in useful...
We will be here till the 19th when Lorries month comes to an end, and then start heading south for more fun and exploration.
