A few
piccies from around St Barth’s, only of average quality as I have been using my
7 year old water proof Pentax, will get the Nikon out again before we leave –
unless we stay here forever
Waiting
while I park the Cinquo Cento Sport
This Island
used to belong to Sweden and many streets still have the old Swedish name
Our rental
car - don’t tell anyone I’m driving such a girlie car, well it’s almost
impossible as i barely fit in the damn thing – but I have to admit it is a very
pretty car – except it has a well dodgy auto/manual gearbox and the engine cuts
out when you stop – so hill start (and there are plenty of them here) are a
bloody nighmare, handbrake off/hit the gas, roll back 3 metres engine starts and
it struggles away
Beach and
lunch at Anse de St Jean
Going
ashore for a night out with Tony & Margaret
Lunch on
Suzie Too – almost professional
A pot luck
supper on Joalea
Auhema with
JD Rockefeller's derelict sun house in the background
Joalea with
JD’s house on the top of the cliff in Anse de Coloumbiere
Francis on
Auhema – a fellow sailor in the Rallye Iles de Soleil – his wife Nicole has had
cancer in the 2 years since we last saw them, but is making a recovery
Local boats
in a race from Antigua – about 80M
Waiting for
the AG2R Transat teams this weekend, which we believe are Figaro 40’s, one of
whom is an entry from Artemis, our friends Nicky & David’s son, Henry Bomby,
is a member of the Artemis team, but not doing this race – looks like more Party
Time !!
