A clear sky here in Bridgetown, Barbados welcomed us as we arrived today. As far as you can see around this 166 square mile island is beautiful deep blue water. The inland hills on Barbados aren’t too tall and there is a very gentle breeze today from off shore. Barbados lies at about 13 degrees north latitude placing it very near the Equator and just to the north of Venezuela.
So far on this 10-day cruise the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean have been smooth as glass. You really couldn’t ask for a gentler ride. In fact most passengers haven’t felt the ship move at all.
We sail back to the north at approximately 6:00pm en route to Castries, St. Lucia. It was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1502. It’s a very beautiful lush island with the spectacular Piton mountain peaks and world renowned Marigot Bay.
