St. Kitts / Nevis

Sorry we haven't posted anything for a while.  The beginning of June we were in St. Kitts and Nevis. Certainly not our favorite islands but not terrible places either.  I guess we just didn't really like the water.  We have been so used to really clear water where you can see the bottom at 10-12 feet which is normally the depth we anchor in but you really couldn't see down that far.  When we were in St. Kitts we stayed in the marina because the anchorage there was really rough.  It was nice staying in  a marina for a change and it was right where the cruise ships come in.
While we were there we decided that we really needed to get the boat running right before we went down island further.  Wes seemed to be spending so much time working on the engines that he really wasn't able to enjoy all of the places that we were visiting.  So we decided that we would head over to Antigua because the island has quite a few places where you can get work done.  Wes thought that the motor mounts weren't good any more and the engines needed to be aligned so the transmissions would run right.  So on June 3rd we headed over to Antigua.  It was only a 45 miles across but being that we only had one engine running and the wind was not in our favor, it took us 26 long hours to make it.

These had to be the strongest rum drinks we ever had!!

Supposedly there are wild monkeys all over Nevis but this is the only one we saw which was in a cage at the beach bar.
