Day 5 Aboard SeaDream II: Saba

This morning we visited Saba. It's definitely an off-the-beaten-path destination. There are no beaches here and the roads are more narrow and winding than even those on St. Barths! Diving is the main draw here, but we took SeaDream's Yachting Land Adventures shore excursion, Saba Sights, to get the lay of the land.

The tour guide was a longtime local resident and it was interesting to learn about this tiny nation of just 1,600 citizens. The tour, in an air-conditioned minivan, lasted about 2.5 hours.

We were back on SeaDream II by early afternoon and set sail for St. Barths, where we'll overnight and spend all of Friday.
