Sailing around the Caribbean

In 2007 our family sailed from the Chesapeake Bay to the Caribbean, visiting most of the islands and stopping in Cartagena, Colombia for hurricane season. We just returned to the Chesapeake after visiting many Central American countries and islands.

St. Kitts � Rawlins Plantation

19 January 2008 | Main Building
After Brimstone Hill, we stopped at Rawlins Plantation at the north-end of the island and ate lunch at its English-style manor. The gardens were spectacular with many different types of song birds one of which kept coming to our table to steal sugar from our bow. He got so close that we could almost touch him. We enjoyed part of the afternoon here and left after playing a game of cricket.
As we headed south after rounding the north-end of the island we found a black-sand volcanic beach which was formed after Mt Liamuiga last exploded. This part of the island had impressive waves crashing against the large dark-rocks that had formed over years of sea pounding. This view was a good reminder to us of the power of the sea that we are sailing. Lastly, before returning to the marina, we stopped at the most popular beach in St. Kitts, Frigate beach, for a relaxing time.
