We had a late breakfast today, then a short snorkel to the edges of the Colombier anchorages where Wolfgang discovered that he and snorkels don’t get along. After that we motored into Gustavia and proceeded to anchor there in order to clear in and go shopping ashore. The clearing in part was quite easy, but everything – including restaurants and cafés were closed up tight on Sunday. We did find a restaurant that was open and serving lunch and after stoking up on energy we walked up the hill to see the aircraft approach and land – an impressive sight as the aircraft come over the roundabout at the top of the hill and then dive down towards the very short and sloping runway.
By the time we’d done our share of sightseeing and weighted anchor to return to our place in Colombier it was approaching dusk and after getting the mooring ball (on the first attempt, once again) we were ready for dinner from the BBQ.
