The Pitons

Well! We are in a quite spectacular spot. I suggest you google earth it (13 49.185'n:061 03.996'w) and look at some of the photos that are there.
On both ends of the anchorage are Pitons, 775 and 735 meters tall. The remnants of volcanic plugs. We have been told that they are the only double Pitons in the world...
This is a park with moorings, which is good... it would be hard to anchor here as there is no shelf of shallow water. The pitch of the mountains continues to drop under water. We are about 50' off shore in 55' of water... not too far from the moorings we were "off soundings" meaning that it was deeper than 250'... at that point our depth sounder reads---!
Although you can tell they are rocky, the two pitons are covered with lush green vegetation... filled with birds, from what I can hear. The water is crystal clear. And we are one of three boats in the bay, which is probably over run in the winter! We feel very lucky...
