COMMENT: Beach House – MOORED – Pinney\’s Beach, Charlestown – Nevis (St. Kitt\’s & Nevis)
We had our first DOWNWIND sail of the season from Montserrat, past Redonda rock and on to Nevis.
Nevis (Spanish spelling is Nieves – which means snow; more later) is part of St. Kitts and Nevis.
The two islands are only 2 miles apart. St. Kitt\’s being the more developed.
The mountain here looks like a classic volcano cone (it\’s dormant or extinct?) or a sombrero.
We\’ll go ashore later today or tomorrow to check in during regular hours.
Our anchorage is very near a very UPMARKET Four Season\’s Hotel.
KIT,
Scott and Nikki
