Shopping in St Maarten

We enjoyed an expensive day off in St Maarten yesterday with a wander around the shops for a new pair of sunglasses for Kate turning into a major camera buying session! Colin has bought a new top of the range Canon camera after getting a deal we couldn't refuse, or thats what we're telling ourselves anyway!

Today we went to the Sunset Bar to watch the planes land and to try out our new toy.

On Saturday morning we are due to leave St Maarten and head back down to Antigua to get some more work done on the boat before our next Charter in mid February.

Second Charter

We are now in St Maarten after completing our 2nd Charter which was with 5 other boats and a total of 52 guests for 6 days. We started in English Harbour, Antigua and then after a photo shoot with the other sailing yachts we cruised around to Five Islands Bay on the west coast of Antigua, before sailing onto Nevis, St Barts and finally St Maarten. The charter was very well organised and was good fun, with several water balloon fights! We enjoyed some great days sailing in close company with the other yachts.
