Arrived in St. Martin
Yep, I'm in St. Martin!

From Antigua to St. Barths
Arrival at St. Barth's.
We left Antigua at 05.30 in the morning. It was a nice sail, we had 1 reef in the main and doing 9.5 knots upwind. Last few days where clouded with no sun and it seems this front wants to stay a little longer.

Kiteboarding and diving in Martinique
I am still in Martinique... and on vacation hehe.
Unfortunately to many guests booked on "Geronimo", but still I went to Les Trois Ilets, where Benjamin & Katrien where moored and stayed on board for a few days.

Another thing, yesterday I went diving for the first time! We went out with Mickael and friends on a (...)
