A six hour sail in company with C Drifters takes us from St Martin to St Bart’s (St Bartholomew’s), beginning of our move South.  First Stop is the Nature reserve of Ile Fourchu, a lovely spot with free mooring buoys.  We go ashore to climb to the highest point for photographs, enjoy the snorkelling, as it is a weekend there are a fair amount of local boats here for partying and when Andy and Linda of Coramandel arrive we have our own parties aboard QS and C Drifters.
