| sv Honey Ryder at Ile Fourchue |
Monday, March 10th 13:00 - We pulled anchor and departed Marigot Bay. Despite the fact that there was NO wind, I was giddy as we motored around the northeast corner of Saint Martin / Sint Maarten and off to a new country, new people and new adventures.

16:17 we picked up a mooring ball at Ile Fourchue and shut off our engine. We motored 19.2 nautical miles to this uninhabited island just NE of St Barths.

There are a total of 9 mooring balls here but only 3 were occupied when we arrived. All three cruising sailboats. A fifth sailboat pulled in right before sundown.

Tuesday 3:30 am. I woke to the sound of silence and NO lights. Actually, I can hear the waves gently rolling ashore behind our mooring. I stowed our solar lights for the passage so we have no lights on to distract from the millions of stars overhead. Wow!
It's so quiet. Magical.
