COMMENT: Beach House – MOORED – Soufriere Bay, Petite Piton – St. Lucia

We left at 0830 this morning and with several other boats made the blustery sail from St. Vincent to St. Lucia.
It was 35 miles, took about 4 hours and overall was our nicest sail this season. A bit bumpy at first, but it settled down a few
miles north of the top of St. Vincent. 2 reefs and a staysail to start; we shook the second reef out mid channel.
This is a very dramatic and lovely spot between the main bay and the Petite Piton. \”Tres Dramatique\” …as the French might say…:-)
Everyone so far speaks English.
We\’ll update the blog soon!
KIT,
Scott and Nikki
