My dad is a die hard Giants fan, I am sure he isn't too happy right now!

It was fabulous!  I posted a brief review. Nothing on the scale of what you and Patti do. 

[Jamman54]

When I last left you, our catamaran had just finished visiting the Pitons, and we are now sailing north along the west coast of St. Lucia back towards Castries. Here are some views as we hugged the coastline…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

The Captain turns the catamaran into Marigot Bay. This is a beautiful bay, lined with beaches, hotels, and restaurants. It also provides moorings for the larger pleasure boats, sailboats, catamarans, and yachts…..

Here are some more views as we sail through Marigot Bay…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…….

[Jamman54]

The Captain turns us around and we are now heading out of Marigot Bay…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We sail past St. Lucia’s oil and gas reserves…..

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

We sail past what appears to be a good snorkeling spot. A Sandals excursion boat is anchored there…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are sailing past Sandals again, but this time much closer to shore…..

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued……

[Jamman54]

We continue to sail past Sandals…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are now sailing back into Castries harbor…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued……

[Jamman54]

We sail past the Carnival Venezia……

 

 

 

 

 

We are back at the excursion pier. Thanks Captain!

 

 

 

I went back to the ship and went up to Guy’s Burger for a Ringer. I took it over to RoCoco and had a couple of Thirsty Frog Wheat’s to wash it down. Patti stayed out to explore the Pointe Seraphine shopping area…..

@Jamman54...spectacular scenery!

[Jamman54]

Patti continues to explore the Pointe Seraphine shopping area…..

[Jamman54]

After about an hour, Patti makes her way back to the ship…..

 

 

After she boards she passes the Medical Center…..

 

 

Back at the cabin she finds today’s towel animal…..

 

 

Patti made her way up to the Lido Marketplace for some lunch. We both met back at the cabin where we relaxed until sail away.

 

The Venezia sailed right at 4pm…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Captain Enzo spins the Venezia around to point her out to sea…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we sail out we get one last glimpse of the Pitons in the distance……

 

 

To be continued……

[Jamman54]

A short time later we were treated to a beautiful sunset…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

We weren’t hungry for a full dinner tonight. Patti was going to go to the Lido Marketplace for a salad and a piece of cake, and then back to the cabin for the night.

 

I went to the (PG) Comedy Show starring Vanessa Hollingshead, which tonight was in the Teatro Rosso…..

 

 

Comedy Club Host Mathew (with one “T”) gets it going…..

 

 

 

Vanessa Hollingshead on stage……

 

 

 

 

She was a train wreck. People were walking out. Being involved with theater, that’s something I would never do, but I don’t blame the ones that did. I gave her a 3 out of 10. After that performance I made my way to the Lobby Bar for several double Bacardi and Pepsi’s with Valentina, before calling it a night.

 

Coming up next: Our day in St. Maarten!

You're right about that as after having two very good comedians to start this cruise, the middle two including Vanessa nearly turned it into the Flatliner Comedy Club!

Been to St. Lucia once back in 2005. Went to the Pitons.  Looks like Edy needs to go back to Towel Animal School. Another great read. 

[TNVolnteerCruiser]

St Lucia is now on my bucket list.  Beautiful! Thanks for the photos by Patti and the great report @Jamman54

[SenatorsFan]

I love all your St. Lucia pictures! 🥰My oldest and his wife spent a week there last year. They also took a catamaran excursion to the Pitons, which they enjoyed.

I'll beg to differ...I think the Pampers (I mean Panthers) take that high honor 😜

Also a giants fan. So darn sad. 😕

Those towel animals without eyes are killing me each time I see one!  After the first 1 or 2 I would have taken a pen and a piece of paper and made my own to stick on!

Remember back when I said Patti requested to Edy that we wanted three sets of towels? Well, since that was so difficult for him to remember that, Patti started disassembling the towel animals for the extra towels. She had a whole pile of towels in the closet by the end of the cruise! 😁
