The Pitons, St Lucia 13°49.48N, 061°03.84W


Here is a cool photo that shows the yacht anchorage between the Pitons. I don't have a wide enough angle lens to capture both Petit Piton and Grose Piton, but you can see how spectacular it is. Greg and Heidi spent a couple of nights at the Ladera. This photo is from their balcony. The hotel's logo is 'view with a room' and you can see why!

Heidi leaves today, back to New York City - she's been great to have on board as usual.

If you're wondering, St Lucia has more Nobel Laureates per capita than any other nation.

GDP is around US$6,000 per person (for comparison, in the US it's about $40,000)

It is part of the Commonwealth, so Queen Elizabeth II is technically the Head of State as she is in New Zealand too.
