St Lucia. Everything I imagined...
St Lucia was a bit of a let down. Many of these ports in the Caribbean don’t have much going for them unless it’s sunny or you get out on a tour. I had In-Port-Manning that day, which meant I couldn’t leave the ship (a certain number of ...

An epic 42.5 hour sail
