Sailing to Tintamarre on Celine |
![]() |
We boarded at Skipjack's at 7:30AM and sailed across the lagoon as we enjoyed coffee and pastries. We exited at the French Bridge, passing by Marigot, Gallis Bay, and Grand Case on the north side of St Martin. After that, we were exposed to the tradewinds in the Anguilla channel. They were moving along smartly producing six to eight foot chop. It calmed down enough to get this panoramic photo as we passed by Anse Marcel (below). At this early hour, the sun was not up high enough to illuminate much of Anse Marcel, home of the Radisson Hotel. |

Captain Neil prepared his understandably famous Seafood Paella while the first mate grilled some mahi on deck. There were also some nice salads and plenty of liquid lubrication. We headed back stopping for some snorkeling at Créole Rock off Grand Case and then over to Happy Bay for a mud bath. Captain Neil has his own special mud and he doesn't like to display it on Tintamarre for fear that people will think he is plundering the island. We rubbed it all over and looked pretty strange until we washed most of it off in the warm waters of Happy Bay. We headed home passing through the late afternoon opening of the French bridge, reaching Skipjack's at about 6:30PM. It was a full day of eating, drinking, snorkeling, sailing, and swimming. Great fun! When we got home we found more mud when we took a shower. Neil does this every Friday. If you want to join this or the lagoon cruise, check out his website. |
