ANGUILLA
Day Trip from ST.MAARTEN/ST.MARTIN
Aboard
the Party Cataman “TANGO”
Wednesday
25th April 2012
During
the middle of the week of our stay on the island of SINT
MAARTEN/SAINT MARTIN, we
(almost) all took a day sailng trip on board the “TANGO”
Party Cataman.
Initially
visiting PRICKY PEAR CAY,
which is a part of ANGUILLA
and shown on the map above in relation to SINT MARTIN/SAINT
MARTIN and then on to the main
island of ANGUILLA.
The
“TANGO” Party
Cataman departed from the Pelican Marina at Simpsons Bay in SINT
MAARTEN/SAINT MARTIN and sailed
up the west coast of SINT MAARTEN/SAINT MARTIN
to Plum Point.
From
here the “TANGO”
Party Cataman crossed the channel and sailed up the coast of the main
island of ANGUILLA to
PRICKLY PEAR CAY,
which is pure paradise and an ideal setting for great snorkeling for
swimmers. Non swimmers can also enjoy the beach and shallow clear
waters.
PRICKLY
PEAR CAY is
completely deserted, except for two little bars/ restaurants for
visitors. Nobody actually lives on PRICKLY
PEAR CAY and
bar/restaurant staff travel over each day to be of service.
After some fantastic snorkelling and superb swimming at PRICKLY PEAR CAY, coming up to
lunchtime though, it was time to cruise over to the main island of
ANGUILLA and to Road Bay Beacg for
lunch at Roy's Bayside Grill.
At Roy's Bayside Grill on the main island of ANGUILLA, there was a buffet choice of
chicken, fish or ribs, which was followed by some free time to enjoy
beachcombing, swimming and relaxing in the sun.
The
long stretch of Road Bay Beach on the
main island of ANGUILLA is lined with little beachside
bars and guesthouses, and like all the beaches on all the islands of
ANGUILLA, the sand is white and the waters are a breathtaking
turquoise blue.
The
“TANGO” Party Cataman is a
large 63 foot/19 metre sail catamaran with 4 fantastic crew members and
featured a spacious walk-up bar area with an “open bar” policy,
surrounded by plenty of seating in the sunshine and the shade.
As
well as large nets up front and plenty of cover in case of rain
(which was certainly not the case that day), the "TANGO" Party Catamaran was ideal
for the great party and lots of fun that we had onboard that day to ANGUILLA.
