From megayachts to Rockefeller's haven

We leave the mega yachts of Gustavia, two Swedish and two Norwegian slightly smaller, ocean-sailing boats behind, and motor in the hot, still air up to Anse du Colombier. On the NW peninsula of St. Barts. Just an hour up the coast.
We meet turtles already on our way in, and soon we're hearing exclamations from snorkeling boat-neighbors: "A turtle, a really big one!" This quiet little "turtle bay" used to be the private playground of the Rockefeller family we're told. Now it's a Marine Reserve. Anchoring is forbidden. So we use the government provided moorings. And help give the corals and turtles a chance.

We settle in, take a swim. And make a carrot cake.
