Marigot Lagoon, St. Martin to Grand Case Bay, St. Martin


April 17, 2014

We decided to leave the lagoon at Marigot in St. Martin this morning, the lagoon has such nasty water that we didn’t want to use our watermaker to make water for the boat from the lagoon water.  It was raining off and on as we pulled up the anchor and headed towards the French bridge to leave the lagoon.  It took us about an hour or more to make it to Grand Case Bay.  It is a beautiful bay with lots of colorful Caribbean type houses in it.  We took D-Time to town and walked the town in search of a restaurant my friend, David, from work recommended.  We found “The Talk of the Town” BBQ restaurant but sadly it had been closed down so we ended up having lunch at another nearby restaurant.  For $10 U.S. dollars each we had BBQ chicken, salad, rice and beans, vegetables and plantains, it was really good.  After lunch, we headed back to C-Time for NAP TIME and to make some water. 
The wind has really picked up this afternoon with gusts up to 25-30 knots.  We are rolling at anchor, but so is everyone else.  Good news is, with all of this wind we’ve made a lot of power through our wind generator so tonight is movie night!
