    COMMENT: Beach House – ANCHORED – Marigot Bay, St. Martin (French side)

    We decided to go around the west end as the French side exit to Simpson\’s Bay is only 30 feet wide!…A bit tight for Miss Piggy.
    A lovely calm motorboat ride. We went by the end of the famous St. Maarten runway where the 747\’s land 130 feet above the beach go-ers.
    We may try to go to the Sunset Bar and watch that event! We\’ll dinghy into the fancy looking French marina and go through the narrow canal to
    see friends Ron and Kathleen onboard \”Lady Amelie\” (currently \”on the hard\”) having some repair work done.
    The island of Anguilla is only 6 miles to our north from here.
    KIT,
    Scott and Nikki
