Robbyn and Tyle

Robbyn Fallon, John's daughter and her partner, Tyle arrived in St. Lucia last night. We'll have lunch with them today. John is considering moving his boat out of the lagoon and into the clear water of the bay where we are located, in order for Robbyn and Tyle to swim and do a bit of snorkeling. He's been very busy with mechanics and the like getting his engine up to snuff for the trip out. He's been enjoying electricity, fresh water, and even cable t.v. while on the dock.

Bill Nugent has been taking kite surfing lessons on the other side of the island. Laurie and I walked over there yesterday to watch, but the wind wasn't strong enough so we weren't able to get any great photos of him. He's booked again for this afternoon, but again, the wind is rather weak. Bill and Krista have rented a car for a couple of days, so if we join in the fun today, we'll ride rather than walk!

I just finished the book "The Life of Pi". What a great read that was!! Laurie read "Killer Angels". It is an Historical Fiction about the Battle of Gettysburg and the civil war. He really loved the book and had it devoured in less than 2 days! John had read it the 2 days before that!

We're thinking of finally sailing next week sometime to head for the Grenadines and Bequia. We don't have any definite plans for this departure, so stay tuned. A boat here headed for Martinique some time ago and promised to bring us some wine, so we'll have to at least wait for them.

Laurie is outside swishing laundry around in a bucket while I get caught up on email today. Not much news from here!
