We left our anchorage this morning at about 7:00 a.m., trying to get an early start on the day. It was a fabulous day for sailing. We had the sails out most of the way and just went in a straight line to St. Kitts. The winds were pretty steady but as we got closer to St. Kitts the winds did some funny things by picking up and then dying off drastically. We arrived at about 3:00 p.m. Daniel gave you more specifics of today's sail in the post below.
We pulled into the main harbor, Port Zante, and dropped anchor and took D-Time to town. We easily found customs and immigration and I must say, St. Kitts has made it easy to check in and check out. I was able to go online before we arrived and filled out our paperwork and they were ready for us when we arrived. We paid $30EC (or $12 U.S.) for the privilege to come into St. Kitts and Nevis and we paid the same to immigration. We informed the officials that we would like to leave on a certain day and they went ahead and cleared us out for that day. This was easy. We left customs and immigration and went in search of a new data card for the phone, since we are now in a new country, new data card. While I took care of that, Daniel went walking around and found Domino's pizza! What a treat! He ordered us a pizza and we sat in the Domino's location and ate a couple of slices, and saved the rest for the boat. We spent a little time walking around downtown but school had just let out and the streets were packed. We stopped at one roadside vendor and picked up some fresh veggies and headed back to D-Time.
The harbor at Port Zante was too rocking and rolling for us so we continued another hour to White House anchorage. It's a little rolly, but near as bad as Port Zante.
