Cincinnati_Kid,

Our first few trips to STB were probably thirty years ago and were made in the sail cat day trips that used to go back and forth. We always found the trip to STB rough but the trip back was usually lovely. The last cat we went over on was the Swaliga - a larger cat than most we had done to that time. And then we flew for the first time and decided it was the best and only way to go.

One suggestion for you, should you ever decide to go to SABA - fly! Even on the power boat it makes the trip to St. Barts look calm. I don’t personally have problems with either of these sails but everyone else in our family did. And the plane approaches and landings in both places are truly worth a memory all their own.
