This week I made it to Anguilla. Ian, the owner of the first boat that I raced on runs a day charter business here. I bumped into him at the yacht club bar the other night and he asked me if I could help him out with a trip. Of course I said yes. No way I was going to pass on a day of sailing and free lunch.
We left St. Maarten and sailed around the north side of Anguilla to this place.
It's called Sandy Island. It is about 100 yards long and 30 yards wide and is a mile and a half off shore. There is a reef around it and a few mooring balls. We grabbed a mooring and I took the guests ashore in the tender. In the middle is a thatched roof beach bar. When we first arrived we were the only people there. Very cool. That's what I came down here for.
After lunch on the boat we sailed to the south of Anguilla and picked up a mooring at Cap Juluca. Cap Juluca has been voted best resort in the Caribbean at least once. Room rates start at $1000.00 per night and the villas go for up to $10,000.00 nightly. We just drove the tender up on the beach and jumped out.
