FISH!!! NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT THREE!!!!
Finally our bad luck has broken. Two Barracuda and a nice sized Dorado!

The 10 hour passage to St Kitts was mostly downwind, in an 8-10 foot swell. This Island group is locally know as the Islands that Brush the Clouds, as each one of them reach skyward and are topped with a ring of cloud forest. Stunning to look at.

St Kitts has a dramatically steep central mountain range rising to 3750 feet, which of much of it is covered in rainforest. Apparently in the heights of the land live thousands of green vervet monkeys. The Caribs called St Kitts Liamuiga whch means fertile island. We can believe it as it is very green. Columbus renamed the Island after his patron saint, and nowadays it is known either as St Christopher or just St Kitts.

The Dorado in a white wine Basil cream sauce was excellent for dinner… Finally.

7 am came early and we motored out of St Kitts for our day long passage to St Maarten.
