I have a friend on island this week who claims the air is so clear he can see St Kitts from the top of the hill by Little Bay, is that possible?

From Divi, you can probably see Nevis also

While we were there on a few occasions we saw Saba, Statia, St.Kitts and from one angle in particular we thought we were seeing Nevis.
Brimstone Hill and the Fort at Brimstone Hill are the high points of St. Kitts and if I remember correctly, and we could see St. Martin from there. Vaguely but you could see itβ¦β¦ππ

One of the pleasures of getting to know St. Martin / St. Maarten is going from beach to beach and greeting old friends offshore: Saba, Statia, St. Kitts, St. Barts, Tintamarre, Anguilla -- and all the smaller ones, too, like Caye Verte and Ile Pinel.

[b][quote=Bluesfan[/b]]I thought St. Kitts was behind Nevis and you could not see it directly. True? About 4-5 years ago weather was so clear that I could just make out Antigua to the left of Nevis from LaVista. About midway between Nevis and the tip of Pelican Key.[/quote
Just the opposite........... I would think St Eustatius would be more visible than St Kitts????[b][/b]

I believe that Oranjestad is St Eustutius.
Correct and also the Capital of Aruba.

There were days when we could see them all, too, but occasionally the anchored cruise ship and/or working boats would sometimes swing on their anchors and block the different islands momentarily, particularly Saba. Though not so much the other near islands.
Georgia, are you able to see St. Barts from where you are?
