Aboard the Wind Surf, at port in Charlestown, Nevis

After a lively morning panel session on the 2016 presidential race, most of our cruisers headed ashore today in Charlestown, Nevis. The great majority went swimming and snorkeling, or toured the island on interesting excursions, or enjoyed Nevis’s nice resorts. Let’s call those people the normal ones.

But a few of us decided to walk around Charlestown. (Actually I decided to, and my colleagues John McCormack, Mike Warren, and Kelly Jane Torrance went along to humor me.) After all, Nevis was the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton and a home and wedding venue for Horatio Nelson. Two great men! Two proto-neocons! How could we not pay homage to them?
