It's Wednesday and that means we're at St. Kitts. We've been here once before with the kids in 2007. At that time we did a 4-wheeler tour through the plantations and forest. Today we took a ship's tour, which was a catamaran sail along the coastline of St. Kitts and then over to the neighboring island of Nevis. We stopped to snorkle a bit in a protected cove on the coastline of St.Kitts. It was good. The water was warm and clear. Not too much in the way of fish but we did see a variety of coral interspersed with the rocks.
After snorkeling it was time for a BBQ lunch on the catamaran and then we sailed over to Nevis, the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, one of America's founding fathers. The catamaran left us on a beach for awhile to lay on the sand and play in the waters. After the snorkeling, the beer and rum punch started flowing and by the time we were back in port, everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time moving and dancing to the Caribbean music.
After yesterday's rainy day, it was a welcome site to see blue sunny skies. That's one of the nice things about cruising....if the weather is lousy, just wait a day you will be in a new place.
Next port....St.Thomas.
We have never been to St. Kitts, we just seem to go back to the same islands all the time. You are right about the weather and cruising, love that.
