Montserrat, Nevis and St. Kitts

5/13 - Deshaies, Guadeloupe was far more upscale than we expected.  It was more modern and had several nice restaurants.

We weighed anchor the following morning and began our 50 mile run up past volcano ravaged Montserrat, then the island of Nevis and on to St. Kitts.

We enjoyed favorable winds as we crossed to Montserrat and I donned my inflatable life vest to show June that I had worn it at least once.

Richard finally had a strike on his worn out spinning rig.  A good sized fish hit the bait but broke the line when Richard tightened the drag.  No fish for dinner.

The top of Montserrat's volcano was shrouded in clouds and as we passed we could see where the lava flows had devastated parts of the south end of the island, including the capital city of Plymouth.

We sailed on to St. Kitts. In Basseterre, near where we achored for evening, we saw the Tropic Tide loading containers in the port.  A few lifetimes ago, I sold Tropical Shipping a couple million dollars worth of refrigerated containers.
