Next morning we checked in, only to be told we needed visas, so we bought temporary visa for 24 hours at a cost of 9 Euros each and sailed the next morning to Anguilla, what a great idea! We had a great lunch there and sailed back to St Maarten, checked in again, this time inside the lagoon and all was well, no visas required! Ask no questions, I'll tell no lies!!!!
Anguilla, Road Bay. Beautiful beaches, friendly people and nice bars

All our SA yachtie mates were anchored inside the Lagoon too and it was great to catch up with Alan and Marita on Alleycat, who introduced us to a great guy by the name of John Perry. He sails his Maxim 38 single handed and has just returned from a few months in Puerto Rico. He hosts a website called Desperate Sailors, www.desparatesailors.com/ worth checking out!
Many bars were visited a lot of beer was consumed and provisioning done. We did some duty free shopping in Phillipsburg too.
