We had had rain off and on most
of the night and as soon as we had a break in the weather this morning, we took
off for the 17 mile trip to St. Martin.
Again, another nice sailing day – the winds were about 15 knots most of
the way. We timed it just right to make
the 3:00 p.m. opening of the bridge on the Dutch side and then immediately
after, the Simpson Bay Bridge opening into the Lagoon at Marigot Bay. We have stayed here before, very good
protection from swells. We found a spot
to drop anchor right next to the Simpson Bay Bridge, which I really like. At night the bridge basically puts on a light
show. The bridge is not tall but it is
long and at night the lights are blue, green, red, orange, blue again…constantly
changing. Really pretty to watch from
the bow of the boat.
