    my husband visited Saba in 1973. He talks about it often. He's 72 and would like to see it again. Love to The Bottoms!!

    I'm from Venezuela and my country is a neighbor of Saba (it has a marine boundary treaty with the Netherlands) so it is very interesting for me because it is a very small island but the walk made it look bigger.

      @@mermer3168 there arent a whole lot of emergencies (assuming you mean medical), but when there were, it was a rush against time, as we dont really have a hospital on island, usually people are loaded onto a helicopter and taken to the st maarten hospital.

    And now for something complete different for you two-Saba.
    Very different than the other islands, cays you have experienced so far
    in your journey. Good to see you both enjoyed it too. It's not low and flat that's
    for sure. Couple of other cruisers brought Saba into our lives. The 3 towns,
    the culture of it's people, that long hike to the top, even a drone shot from the
    very top has added something different from the norm when cruising the Island
    chains- so far. A treasure into itself. Other mountainous terrain for you both
    to come with the next couple of islands you visit. Try not to stub a toe in those
    sandals now Stephanie. You will have to find... a light house for Travis to
    explore "safely" in your journey forward too- just say'n. I have enjoyed your
    videos very much to date, they improve with each episode and new camera
    gear doesn't hurt the production content either.
    Stay safe- will check back in again soon on the next new environment changes
    for Jibsea. Where to next?

    Travis, you are mad. When I saw how high you climbed up that rock I was frightened. Then you jumped off!! Thankfully my heart managed to keep going. Please try not to kill yourself. I enjoy watching your channel.
