We left St. Martin for the next island south, St. Barth, a chic French island with beautiful waters and expensive French shops. We could see the bottom with the depth sounder telling us 60 feet. It was like looking into a swimming pool. Fantastic.

We cleared Customs and headed to Columbier, a Marine sanctuary where we chilled to peaceful surroundings and good snorkeling. Turtles, Rays, Squid, and lots of fishies, especially Seargent Majors. We did a bit of hiking but mostly swam in the 75+ degree water. That's what I'm talkin' about!!

We hope to head out in the morning for Montserrat to see what's left after the volcano erupted there but we have to pick up a part or two at the Chandelery in the morning, so we may have to stay another day.

Oh well. Just keeping an eye out for storms crossing over from Africa.
