Yesterday I sailed from Nevis to Statia. It's about 33 miles. Started off as a broad reach in light air in the lee of St. Kitt's and ended up as a screaming beam reach as I cross the 10 miles of open water between St. Kitt's and Statia. I have already written about Statia so I won't repeat any of that.
This morning I hiked The Quill. The Quill is an extinct volcano with the cone still fully intact. It is just over 1900 feet high and the hike to the crater edge and back took three and a half hours. I originally planned to hike down into the crater but the trip up made me realize what an out of shape fat boy I have become and decided to save it for another time. Once I get my computer online I will post a few pictures.
The most amazing thing were the rock crabs. There are crabs that live in shells about the size of a child's fist all the way up the mountain. They live there and move around through the underbrush. I did not know that crabs lived on mountains.
