6 DEGREES OF SEPARATION NOPE MORE LIKE 40 DEGREES DIFFERENCE SEPARATING THE WEATHER IN THE CARIBBEAN FROM SCOTLAND.

We spent the last night at anchor outside St Georges and

this splendid sunset was preceded by a green flash.

Temp about 28 degrees centigrade.

Jan and Hope will be back in cold cold Britain today [ MINUS 12 CENTIGRADE ** YIKES **. Jan was being met by a spouse bearing thermals and a wooly hat. Hope had a friend turning on her heating and was praying that no pipes had burst in her absence.

Going to this

from this


will be hard.

Still they will always be welcome back.

Dizzy is missing Hope and the 'behind the dodger' shiatsu paw massage she administered.

As well as pampering my cat with free belly rubs

Jan found many colorful subjects to sketch and her watercolors were drying faster than usual she said.

This one brings back a scary memory for me as Gisela and I rode out hurricane Tomas behind that rock.

We visited the underwater sculpture park and were surprised by the shoals of fish that seemed to be flocking around us in an expectant sort of way. The cause was quickly revealed as a snorkel special from the cruise ship arrived and they were soon dishing out lots of free fish food. I have reservations about this but it certainly produced a spectacle for us and some really sizeable snapper.

I find this series a little creepy with the pregnant woman and the family all on their backs as if in coffins.

Like I said CREEPY!

Getting back into the dinghy can be tough when you are tired from a long spell in the water.

Here are a few pics from earlier days.

Hope on the helm as we sailed from Petite Martinique to Frigate Bay in Union Island.

We search for Mangos and Rock Figs.
