St. Barths to St. Martin


May 10, 2014
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.
