The third day of the trip we had breakfast at the Grand Case Beach Club. It reminded us of the past summer when Tracy, Jimi, Kaylynn, and Alyssa had stayed there for a week. All the same staff were there and the place didn't seem to have changed at all. They would not let us tie up to the resort dock though because they needed it for their ski boat. We did manage to use the hotel's wireless to reserve a hotel for the last night of the trip. Everyone was a bit grumpy and hot, so we decided to skip snorkeling at Creole Rock and sail straight to St. Barts.
It was a easy 2-3 hour motor sail with moderate to low waves. Everyone enjoyed getting out on the water (except perhaps Tracy who didn't like the waves). We anchored at Anse de Colombier on the north end of St. Barts. The snorkeling was great. Everyone was pretty tired, and Patti cooked a very good salmon for dinner. The weather was still uncomfortably warm. The harbor is surrounded by a high ridge that blocks the wind.
Because of that, however, it was a very quiet anchorage. Two of the other boats in the harbor appeared to be some sort of summer camp – all kids with no one seeming to be over about 20. There was also a very impressive mega-yacht. It would have been a good place for night diving if we had good lights. The mega-yacht seemed to have night diving lights on their stern that turned the water into a bright blue.
