Hello from Lisa Jon and Jonny,

Since our last blog, we left St Martin and sailed to St Barts St Kitts and are now in Antigua.St Barts was great and beautiful We cleared in and went to a place called Columbier.A fantastic harbor with clear blue water.Sea turtles,snorkling and a great beach.There was a great walk way along the cliffs that took us to another beach with spectactular views along the way.Town was real cool with the very french atmosphere.After a couple of days we cleared out for a nice sail to St Kitts.The seas were fair at three to six feet with winds of twelve to sixteen.Our new auto pilot works wonderful and made the eight hour sail fun.Weather was sunny with blue skies and deep blue water.St Kitts was very different with the culture and the dollar went to ec which is 2.75 to an american dollar.Very inexpensive and a independent country with their own rules and laws.Their elections were going on and people were all wild and crazy all day and night.It was quite a scene.We left early 7am for a nine hour sail to Antigua.Seas and wind calm,a motorsail on another beautiful day.Did some fishing and caught a mahi and a barracuda.Flitted my first fish the mahi,threw the barracuda back.Saw a sailfish that kept shooting himself straight out of the water near the boat a dozen times.Really neat.Met friends on Satori,Diane and Paul in St Barts and they have been traveling the same route with us.Enjoying them and all the others we have met.Well so long for now,weather and sea state say we will be in Antigua for a week or so.Looks like a great place to be.Lisa and Jonny are great and having fun with all the cultures,Islands,school and the boat chores.A special journey for our family that will be remembered for ever.

All the best JUSTUS
