Saint Martin

St. Martin was awesome!!!  We were there for 2 weeks!  Other than Washington D.C. and Hampton, that’s the longest that we’ve stayed in one place!  In the middle of those two weeks, we had our first guest in the Caribbean, Auntie Kim, come and stay with us for 5 nights!

For 3 of those nights, we were in Marigot Bay, and the other 2 nights we were at Grand Case.

For the week that Auntie Kim wasn’t here, we did a bunch of provisioning that included getting a new auto pilot, groceries, marine supplies and toiletries!  That’s a lot of stuff to fit in the time to get, what with all of the things that we did with our buddy boats, s/v UNO, s/v Glass Slipper, s/v SiBella, s/v Lequesteau, s/v Jump, s/v Mythago and s/v Bueller!  We had a lot of fun though, with and without buddy boats.  On the Wednesday that Auntie Kim was here, we went to the huge outdoor market! 

A couple of times, both with and without buddy boats we went over to the Dutch side of the island, Sint Maarten.  The town over there, Philipsburg was a really cool town!  It was nice, with a bit of the local stuff, and a little of what you might find in the United States.  One of the restaurants right on the waterfront of Philipsburg was a popular hangout for cruisers, with internet and inexpensive drinks that were downright cheap at happy hour, 5-7, had a music night and Steve, off of s/v UNO, Rod off of s/v SiBella and Travis off of s/v Bueller did a few numbers!  After Steve had taken the kids back to the boats, Coleen, off of s/v Glass Slipper came over and we had dinner and watched a movie.  It was nice to have it be just girls for once, since on s/v UNO there are 2 boys! 

St. Martin was awesome!!!
