One of the visual highlights of the lagoon was the light show on the causeway bridge. Multicolor LED lights ran through a rainbow of colors, mainly monochromatic, but occasionally all the colors.
The bridge is set up beautifully for pedestrians, a nice wide path on either side, separated from traffic. It made for a lovely evening stroll.
To enter and exit the lagoon we had to wait for the bridge opening times and the call ahead to the bridge operator and tell them we were coming. Then we lined up with all the other boats that wanted to enter or exit the lagoon.

"Come on captain, hurry it up!" "Next time we will leave you behind!"
What did they want us to do? Ram the boat in front of us?
Simpson Bay was a little noisy and definitely lacking in water quality, however it was a great place to get work on the boat done and make people connections. For me, people connections are a wonderful part of cruising and I happily made connections with fellow cruisers here. Simpson Bay is definitely on the list of places to return to in the future.

We love to hear your comments.
