After Bequia, we sailed to St. Lucia. It was a 12-hour sail, much with the motor and sails up. We were lucky enough to see dolphins frolicking about the boat between Bequia and St. Vincent.

As we were sailing north along the coast of St. Lucia, we passed Castries, which is where the freights unload their goods. It is also where cruise ships dock. We encountered two freighters and two cruise ships. We were watching vigilantly, as we needed to give these large ships a wide berth as we passed.

The cruise ship in the picture is the Norwegian Cruise Line’s ship called “Epic.” It was huge! You can also see one of the freighters in the picture. Another cruise ship was still in at the dock when we passed.
