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

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

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 !!
