We made it up to St. Barts earlier than we had expected and Patti wanted a good beach to walk on. So instead of stopping in Gustavia we anchored in Anse de Columbia (which slightly annoyed some of the girls since they liked the showers in Gustavia). We picked up a mooring within swimming distance of shore. Tracy and Jimi went snorkeling and the others went to walk on the beach. David replaced the fan belt on the engine while everyone was getting ready (fortunately there was a spare and he was able to improvise the tools he needed). Snorkeling was nice and it was an easy swim to the rocks and then into shore. Tracy and Jimi saw a large manta ray gliding above the sand.
Eight people from two families on one 43 foot catamaran. 350 nautical miles sailed in fourteen days through six countries using three currencies. Over a thousand pictures taken (and many more memories).
