Location: St. Martin - Statia
Today started out with early wake-ups and quick sail and anchor raises. This was done very well, and before we knew it, we were rounding St. Martin and steering a course to Statia. Breakfast and lunch were both served underway and were very tasty. On course to Statia, we tossed up the fisherman to boost our speed. Everyone had a good time on the beautiful sail through the Caribbean waters. We passed the intense peaks of Saba on our starboard side and joked that there must be undiscovered beasts living on the island. It looks very similar to the island in Jurassic Park. When approaching Statia, we had to navigate our way through massive oil tankers before dropping sails and anchoring just past them. Statia is known for its incredible amount of oil. We quickly flaked sails and rolled into a quick BA. After this was done, we had dinner, which was spaghetti and vegetable sauce. The sunset was a great one, with the silhouette of a massive oil tanker just to the side of the setting sun. Later on, we have an OCB class followed by an early bed for all. Tomorrow, we plan to hike up Statia.
