[0:00] Start -- Our track starts at 6:48 AM as we approach, Basseterre, St. Kitts. Just beside it you will see the track we made as we departed from the island. Click the Pause button and zoom out to see St. Kitts and neighboring islands.

When this was written, the satellite image showed another cruise ship docked at the pier. Our track shows that the Mercury was docked on the right side of the pier.

[1:12] Walking Tour -- At about 12:20 PM we decided to go ashore to see the area on foot and maybe get some lunch. It was really windy that day. You can see people holding their hats in some of the pictures. It was Sunday and most of the attractions and restaurants were closed so we just took a quick tour of the town. Take a look at our picture of chickens in the street, not an uncommon sight there. We then returned to the ship for lunch.
[4:42] Windy Weather -- Another group of pictures was taken on board starting at 5:23 PM. The wind was even stronger then. Look at the picture of the flags straining to get away.
[6:07] Departure -- I was able to get some good sunset shots. Then before we departed the island about 6:00 PM.
