Saba - The Unspoiled Queen of the Caribbean (MJ Sailing - EP 74)

As we start to sail slightly north again we visit one island which does not get many visitors…..leaving it completely unspoiled for those who do make it there.

Leaving Antigua behind, we set out on a NW course with the wind and waves at our back as we have a beautiful sunset sail. With no issues overnight we wake to find the volcanic island of Saba towering in front of us, and read up on her history. With very few safe and secure spots to anchor, we pick up a mooring ball on the west side of the island.

The next day we take the dingy to Fort Bay where we check in, and then begin making our long hike up to the town of The Bottom, thankfully getting picked up half way between. Our goal for the day is to climb Mt. Scenery, located in the town of Windward near the east side of the island.

Much love from Saba!
Jessica, Matt & Georgie
