... style (Cayman style!!!) show last night with my 2 good friends Kai and Sue, it was a good night, lovely food, wine and company and yes I even got on the stage and danced!!!! I also received a lovely cake from Jane and Tim made by the chef at the Ritz!!! and also a bottle of Champagne in my room again from Jane and Tim, I'm not going to drink the champagne too much for 2 ...

... br>Looking at the route thru Colorado and the weather forecasts shows me snow showers and cold conditions. That is what convinced me to wait for another trip. Pity, because I had some good roads picked out. No worries though, I think that there are places in AZ and NM I am interested in, and a few other southern states too.<br><br>

... that we found we were running out of time, so decided against driving down the Big Sur :-( That will have to wait for another time. <br><br>Instead we set off towards Yosemite, stopping for dinner on the way and to get the children in their pjs. After dinner at Mimi's Cafe they fell asleep so the drive to our little motel was easy. The motel was a very typical American motel by the side of the road, but it was clean and cheap so we were happy :-)

Today was a day off and I went to Rum Point again!!!! with Michelle we also went on a boat trip to Sting Ray city it was a fab day and done things today that I have never done before. It was such a special day doing these things like holding a Sting Ray, kissing a Sting Ray!!!!

The Island is actually called St Christopher, which I found out after a while. Quite confusing when people talk about St Kitts and all I can find on the charts is a place called Nevis and another island just north called St Christopher. Well after the write up about this island in the cruising guide, proclaiming it to be one of the nicest, most unique islands with spectacular scenery and home to people like Thomas ...

03/05/08, Saturday, 14:30, Fort Louis Marina, Marigot, St. Martin Chris and Jen [Ric********** and his wife] arrived on Monday. They were cool. Went over to St. Bart's on Tuesday. Jen got sick. Oh yeah, checked out Sint Maarten capital Monday afternoon - driving was crazy. Anchored off beautiful beach in St. Bart's. [So beautiful. We hadn't cleared in though ...

29/04/08, Monday, 15:00, Simpson Bay Lagoon, Sint Maarten Antigua was cool. We were there for the end of the Classic Yacht Race Week, so we got to see a lot of nice, famous boats. [Later saw Allen's boat, Octopus, the second largest yacht in the world not owned by a head of state. Kinda makes you a little sick inside, right?] Checked out the fort at Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour. Our last night there, we anchored off a nice ...

... went room-to-room and took reservations. By the time he had reached my chamber, reservations were available for either 5:00 or 8:00 ("Take it or leave it."). I shared a table with a large middle-aged man wearing a Duke University sweatshirt. He was seated next to a Japanese man who did not speak a word of English. The waiter attempted to breach the language barrier by yelling at him very slowly: "Vin-ai-gret-te or Ran-ch?" He then spoke to the rest of us ...

... seas and 16-18 knots of wind from the NE. Until daybreak the forecast was OK and then it became clear that the forecast was a bit off. We had 20 knot winds on our nose and 8 foot seas for hours with intermittent rain and we were forced to motor. Even when the wind moved NE and we could sail, the winds increased to 26-28 and the seas built to about 10 feet. About four in the afternoon the seas and winds began to calm a bit. Suddenly there was a dolphin on our port side, then the ...

... au fort. Nous n'avons pas vu de singes (qui sont très communs là-bas) à cause du mauvais temps. Ça commence bien... Le soir au moins nous avons pu sortir dans le bar de l'hotel, où c'était absolument pacté. Avec un maximum de 2 drinks au max pour être en forme pour le lendemain, nous sommes ressortis environ 8 consommations plus tard. Très mauvaise idée, surtout pour le porte-feuille. Donc le lendemain notre guide venait nous chercher à l'hotel. Il nous a ...
