Kyle rerouted us to St. Lucia last night after some issues with the propeller and auto pilot in addition to no wind so we were having to use our motor. We heard a funny vibrating sound. Usually it’s not recommended to come into a new bay at night, especially for rookies, but we had no choice. Our friend Jorge recommended this beautiful bay called Anse Des Pitons Bay. We found a mooring ball to tie to and then dove in this morning to check it all out.
Kyle was able to tighten the autopilot and the vibration went way. Praise God!! We really enjoyed our very short stay in St. Lucia between the two beautiful Pitons. We were able to use our wetsuits for the first time. The kids loved how they helped them float and kept them warm. Some local fisherman also brought us over some fresh caught Tuna. Delicious!!

Charlie loves the Mega Yachts! This one followed us from Bequia.
We’re off now for St. Maarten. We’ll see how the sailing goes. We will remain flexible and stop when needed. Weather looks beautiful and the wind is mostly easterly for a beam reach. Smooth sailing we hope!
