Grand Case is Grand

Lorna here:
I forgot to mention in the previous blog how much better my cold is and how it didn't bother me on the flight. Thank you Dr L.for your time and attention.

We moved to Grand Case late Sunday afternoon and been enjoying it very much. It is a small seaside village on the north side of the island on the French side. We are anchored in a bay with about 20 boats from many different countries. Monday am we took the dingy to shore and shopped for some supplies and browsed the little French boutiques. Later in the day we dinghied over to Creole Rock for snorkeling and say at least 20 species of fish. Dawn was told an octopus had been spotted there but no sighting
for us. She did however, see a 2 foot long barracuda, which she did not trouble. Started the first game of dominoes and will probably conclude today.

Tuesday, at the same beach, we swam to shore and walked the beach, but no booty yet. We stopped at a beach bar for a beer before swimming back to the boat and then dinghied into town for dinner. Excellent BBQ of ribs and chicken rice and salad for 7.00 US. We continued to walk around where the town was active and for about a mile stretch there were probably 20 or more restaurants. A single lane of traffic wove through the walkers. A great place to people watch.

It is very windy here this am and Laurie is busy doing chores and Brian has already finished 1 book and Dawn and I just chat and continue to catch up as sisters do. We will move around to Marigot Bay today for an afternoon at the Sunset Beach Bar to watch the planes taxi in right over your head.

So as you can see we are very busy here...the hell here never ends. Love to all, we don't miss you yet and sure don't miss work but we toast all our frozen friends often.
