St. Lucia is home to us and to Eaux Vives. After leaving charter with the Moorings, Eaux Vives lived in Marigot Bay, St. Lucia for many years.Every time we return, it feels like returning to family. Eaux Vives was on the hard in the boat yard at Rodney Bay for the past four hurricane seasons. The advantages of St. Lucia: good airport, nice people and from here it is usually a reach sailing either north or south. The jump-up in Gros Islet is famous and Castries has a spectacular market. The south end of the island is relatively uncrowded and has some of the best windsurfing and beaches in the Caribbean. The Pitons (shown below) gave their name to the local beer and they offer spectacular climbing, hiking and views.
