A Yellow Submarine trip
The pretty island of Saint Barthelemy, commonly known as St.Barts, is a French colony, which I didn't realize otherwise would have brought our Euros which is their local currency. The capital is Gustavia so called after the Swedish monarch King Gustaf from the time it was owned by the Swedes. The Swedes sold it back to the French in 1878. The ship moored off the coast as the island ...

This may seem odd to say but wine and alcohol were very expensive on the Regatta and also incurred an ...

History
St. Barts has the allure of a small island whose economy has always been intricately bound up with its picturesque port. The island itself had little to recommend it for settlement in the early days, as the rainfall is insufficient to support agriculture. However, St. Barts' fine harbor and several sheltered bays made it important enough to be fought over by the British, French, and Spanish. It prospered under the French in the ...
