We normally sail the BVIs and USVIs, but pushed the envelope this year heading to the leewards for a month. We spent about 12 days on the two sides of St martin, with lots of good food, pleasant anchorages, and fun ashore. The biggest (pleasant) surprise was Lagoonies - we were expecting normal beachside lowbrow food (which we love), and instead got great French food at reasonable prices, and $2 pints of Heineken at HH. Why aren't they world famous for sailors, or land-based people for that matter ? Anyway, I promised to give them a shoutout when we got home, so here you go.
