St Barts

Just a short stopover
It has been very windy and we left when we thought we had a weather window so we could sail here. The seas were still pretty high after all the winds we have had but we made in 6 hours - keep in mind that we sail at a snails pace and had to tack! We will only spend 24 hours in St Barts and need to come back. What a beautiful island. This is one of the few islands that has no - zero - nada- littler. As much as I love the Caribbean - junk and litter are a part of that picture on most islands. We walked all around Gustavia and it's perfect little harbor but I just did not take enough pictures..
We are taking so much time that we have decided to skip several islands and go to Antigua, we can stop at those islands on the way back north in the fall. The wind is about to drop to almost nothing so we have decided to leave right away tomorow, we hate to motor when we can sail.
