Direction: Nevis

November 26, 11:35 am

It's been a little while since the last post, either because nothing worthy was happening, or what were where too many or too busy to write.
Last Sunday, we went to a pool near an hotel/timeshare close to the Sint-Maarten bridge. It was nice and warm as usual. We then went, by bus this time, to the Mullet bay beach, near the airport. When the girls had landed, we walked towards the airport, but gettign closer, we saw a 747 gettign ready to take off so we stopped at Maho beach for the jet blast. I was disappointed because the pilot did not hold the brakes like the last plane so the blast lasted only a few seconds. We met the girls at the airport and went back to the boat after an american fast food dinner.
Monday was the least busy day of the trip, I did NOTHING. I went to the McDonalds in the morning and evening to send a few work emails and pictures, but the remainder of the day, I rested on the boat while the girls and the boys were shopping, each on their side.
Tuesday morning we lifted the anchor early for a small sailing day towards St-Barthelemy. We anchored in Gustavia Bay and went to visit the town. We got dinner at the famous restaurant "Le Select", where Jimmy Buffet hung out when he lived there and that he references in the song "Cheeseburger in Paradise". This town is ultra jet-set, the girls seems to work a lot less than the guys, or outnumber them, because we see a lot more girls than guys in town (and at the beach). They are always dressed nicely, even when they are on a 4wheeler (that can be driven on the street).
Wednesday we went for a walk to St-Jean, on Nikki Beach and near the airport. We did a little bit of beach and we could have small airplanes take off right on top of our heads. The island seems to be a little overcrowded, there are small cars, motorcycle, all terrains everywhere... and once again, no sidewalks.
This morning, we lifted the anchor to get to Nevis. I don't think we will go on the island, only spend the night to leave very early for Guadeloupe.
