| The megayacht anchorage outside of Gustavia Harbor |
We had avoided St. Barts under the assumption that it was
too high-priced for us, until a friend told us about the free moorings. You can’t
beat a free mooring (if it’s well-maintained, of course), and we’re all about
free. We had a nice downwind sail, and arrived at the incredibly crowded harbor
of Gustavia. Megayachts dotted the water in the anchorage set well away from
the rest of us. Inside the harbor, even more megayachts moored along the quays.
There were some beautiful vessels. The capitainerie was one of the prettiest
check-in facilities we’ve seen, with nice young men in uniform to sign your
papers and check your passports (which they rarely, if ever, do in the other
French islands). So far, St. Barts had lived up to its well-heeled reputation.
More later.
