Approaching the Pitons just south of Soufriere Bay.  We had a short easy sail from Marigot Bay.

There is no anchoring between the Pitons due to it being a marine park, so we were able to get the last mooring ball for the evening.  This was the view off the bow.

This was the view off the stern as the sun was setting.

We had a fantastic sunset.

The next morning we motored over to Soufriere Bay for Customs & Immigration paperwork.  It’s a beautiful place except for the boat boys who harass you when you approach the port.  Yesterday, we had two meet us 3 miles out and insist on motoring along side us ruining our peaceful sail.  Teresa eventually chased them off.

We decided it would be best to leave someone (Giles) on the boat as we went to town to prevent any possible crime.

The three of us took the dingy in to shore to do the Customs & Immigration work.

Approaching the town of Soufriere.  Not as picturesque as the anchorage between the Pitons.

We also need someone to stay with the dingy so it didn’t get stolen and Teresa drew the short straw. We left her in the heat to wait for Lisa and my return, so she popped up her umbrella for some shade.

Ah, with Customs & Immigration complete we head back to Sea Rose.  Teresa survived the heat and boat boys harassing her at the dock.

Giles anxiously awaiting our return with the Pitons in the background.

We decided to head back to our idyllic anchorage between the Pitons.  Giles and Lisa are happy about that decision.

Anchored back between the Pitons off the beach of the swanky Jalouise Plantation Resort.

Our cruise director, Lisa, had 3 tours planned for us this day. Once ashore at the Jalouise Plantation Resort they had complementary pink tuk-tuk to take us up the hill to the concierge.

Tour stop #1 was the drive-in volcano.  The mud baths were optional and we opted out.

Tour stop 32 was Tet Paul.  A leisurely walk through a botanical garden with amazing views.  There’s Giles bringing up the rear.

The sign says it all.

Wow! amazing views of the Pitons and the bay below where Sea Rose is anchored.

Tour #3 for the day was a chocolate tour at the Hotel Chocolate.  Our cruise director Lisa sampling fresh cocoa beans.

When we arrived at Hotel Chocolate the chocolate tours were finished for the day, so we decided to stay for lunch anyway.

Great views of the Pitons from our lunch table.

A fantastic lunch was had…
