The Caribbean Island of SABA! E83
July 08, 2023 by Sailing Wind Therapy | Language: EN Play Time: 00:25:57 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this episode onboard our Leopard 45 sailing catamaran, we spend a day with our friends, Ted and Catherine from SV Lucky on the Spirit of St. Martin watching the annual Heineken Regatta races. Then we got lucky with the weather and sailed to Saba, a passage that everyone told us not to bother with. “There’s no place to anchor, no beaches, and it’s too rolly. Don’t bother!” they said.
Well, we are so happy that we didn’t listen to everybody. We saw a weather window and took it, hoping to be fortunate enough to snag one of the four mooring balls on the west side of this magnificent Caribbean island. There’s room for about four sailboats on the south side near the harbor, but that was completely full when we got there. Our Plan B was to keep sailing to St. Eustatius (Statia). Luckily, Plan A worked out for us.
Saba is a fabulous little island. With a general population of just 1500 people and some of the best hiking and views we’ve ever seen, it’s truly a hidden gem.
We also feature new music from two of our favorite Blues musicians, Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia, on their Blood Brothers CD.
Thanks for watching and happy sailing!

Sailing Wind Therapy
We’re Jeff and Adrienne. We both grew up sailing, but took 20 years off while married to our exes. When we got together in 2007, we remembered how much we loved sailing. So, we took a week-long sailing class in 2013, bought a Leopard 48 sailing cat, and never looked back (except for when Hurricane Irma destroyed her but we immediately purchased a new Leopard 45). In Spring 2021, our plan is to leave our marina in St. Petersburg, FL, and begin making our way to the Bahamas, then to New England, and then south, arriving in Grenada sometime in June 2022. Maybe, in May 2023, we’ll make our way across the Atlantic Ocean and spend some time in the Mediterranean. And then go around the world. We’ll figure it out. And hopefully, you’ll join us along the way. Thanks for watching our videos. We hope you like them.
