We wonder how long this boat has been parked up on the beach! Look how deep the motor is buried!
We walked an hour and a half along the highway with no real shoulders to speak of to get to Saline Bay Beach. After a couple of cold drinks we followed the walking trail back to the boat which was another 2 hours. A cool swim was in order on our return! Here is Paul on the left and Laurie on the right.
On Sunday in Martinique 2 boats came to the beach with a number of crew dressed in matching t-shirts, all set for racing. Notice the poles they wedge into the boat to lean out on to keep the boat flatter and faster.
Yesterday we returned to Saint Lucia (Rodney Bay) and had John Fallon and Jimmy on board for spaghetti. We had a few good laughs and stayed up an hour later than usual. We tend to get to bed around 9:00, but we went crazy last night, making it to 10:30!
This is an older picture of a week ago when John, Laurie, Paul and I all went to the Jump Up in Gros Islet. A jump up is a street party and in this area, they have one every Friday night with loud, nasty rapp music and good eats! It's a must do when you arrive in Rodney Bay!
All for now. Laurie's brother Paul is leaving us tomorrow and we'll be lunching in at the Bread Basket today. Paul arrived here 2 weeks ago a little tense, but is so calm now he's in danger of forgetting to breathe.
