We saw a lot of charter boats from the British Virgin Islands visiting several of the anchorages we were at in the American Virgin Islands. We never planned on spending much time in the BVIs as we had explored the area before when we did a bareboat charter with Bob39s sister E http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Sint-Maarten/blog-613874.html So we decided on Sint Maarten this year for our summer holiday. We have been to several islands in the Caribbean but we have never landed here.

We quickly went to the store and then to a bar called La Taverne we had a St. Maarten cocktail. We then met Oscar India for lunch so good to eat something other than the ship's food Went to the beach after that and then had to head back to the ship. http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Sint-Maarten/blog-593677.html So we have been staying in Sint Maarten for the past 5 days but it is our last post. THat is because we spent most of our time in St. Martin and visiting St. Barts and Anguilla during most of the days.

I think I have described this before it is a deep inlet with a marina and boardwalk built along one side and big wide decks with restaurants and shops. The sides of the valley are very steep and wooded. We normally tie onto a buoy in the middle of the inlet.

Although that isnt necessarily a bad thing. We love St. Martin It is a fun and lively island with great shopping and beautiful beaches friendly people and great food. Plus the anchorage here inside the lagoon is one of the best in the Caribbean protected from all weather.
