St Kitts
A mountainous island with slopes that rise to almost 4000 feet St Kitts has several attractions other than pure tourism, including a Veterinary School frequented by young Americans eager to become vets back in their home country.
The most amazing 'African' tree - it wasn't clear why the locals call it the African tree - but it sure is spectacular. 
Local inhabitants Map of Sir France Drake Channel where we sailed for several days.
Named after the famous privateer, the Sir Francis Drake Channel constitues an 'inland sea' in the middle of the Caribbean Ocean.
We anchored one night in the 'Bight' of Norman Island. The meaning of which is an indentation in a coast so wide that it may be sailed out of on one tack in any wind. ... and so we began to learn the origins of many sayings so oft heard but not necessarily fully understood.
We got to understand a world that splices the mainbrace, while keeping a weather eye open to pour oil on troubled waters as landlubbers shoved off to much scuttlebutt and talked a lot of bilge.....
...and all the while marvelled at the beauty and tranquility of these most idyllic ever changing vistas of verdant slopes and sparkling seas where we'd drop anchor in intimate coves and exquiste bays.

Panoramic views have never looked quite as good as over the pristine and seemingly endless beaches of Plettenberg Bay. (Move on down to see how beautiful it is)
All of this coupled with a unique and magical interaction with a herd of African elephants in one of South Africa's most exclusive yet personalised luxury boutique lodges.
