On Land in St. Barths

Location: Gustavia, St Barths

The crew awoke at various times throughout the night to complete our first anchor watch. Our day officially started at 7:30am with breakfast, which was French toast. After breakfast we fixed up the sails that had not come down so neatly during the storm yesterday. We were then able to continue with our boat appreciation duties, which seemed to be happening at a slow pace this morning. Finally, we finished and were able to prepare to go to shore. Once on shore the crew did the usual. First stop: internet caf where everyone was reminded that life does, in fact, go on off the ship. Then on to lunch, where we dined on crepes. Finally, off to do some shopping, which proved to be hard since most of the stores closed early. At 4:00pm, it was back to Ocean Star where the day continued as usual. Shower time was followed by dinner and MTE class. At last we have some off time to think of the surf day we have tomorrow.
