staging for St Martin

Sitting this morning at the Saba Rock Bar.  Picture a rock totally occupied by a pocket sized resort.  Teh bar as a complete view of Gorda Sound which is a large bay bordered by the east end of Virgin Gorda, some small islands and barrier reefs.  With several channels through the shallows, its an excellent jump off, least of all for the reason of cable television, which this  morning is featuring the much anticipated Germany - Argentina match.  I am delaying my departure till after the match, though I am well into my window, to enjoy the excitement.  Right now, its just me and the Moorings manager at the bar, sans bartender, discussing the cup and awaiting the start of the match in a couple of minutes. 
Should be underway around noon and expecting light easterly winds for around 24 hours of tacking the 75 miles to St martin.  Yesterday met an interesting Dutch singlehander who lives there and who promised to show me around.  Plan on getting the materials for haul out there (duty free), and maybe a new digital camera which is why I haven't beenn posting any pictures lately.
