Sat 28 Apr Nevis to St Barthelemy (Barts)

Sat 28 Apr Nevis to St Barthelemy (Barts)
Pissing rain and very gusty with heavy lowering skies. Lovely day for a sail! MB queasy after last night. Neither crew has the sealegs for protracted ops below decks. Great views of St Kitts and in the distance Saba and Statia (thought they were regulars in Asda Gosport?). Joined by Dolphins for lunch, including a mum and baby. David tries singing awful Northern Irish song to them but this makes them veer off sharply to starboard never to return. Got to Barts PM. V Crowded,. Eventually anchor in 3000 fathoms in picturesque bay.  Bay suffused by gusts and williwaws (isn’t he the bloke who ran Aer Lingus?). Skipper slept fitfully as we edged backwards towards the catamaran moored behind.
