As we left Antigua last night we saw a “house” fire…I can’t get the pic so here’s a frigate bird instead.

See you in the lunch line😘🍷

Here’s a couple of pics of yesterdays house fire as we were leaving Antigua.

Isles Les Saintes, Guadeloupe, what a lovely surprise. Charming french and easy to walk. Loving this cruise on board the Serenity 👌
 

 

Glad you’re enjoying, Ivi.

Today Jim & I hiked around the bend, over the hills and down this steep path to a lovely little beach. Pretty much had the place to ourselves. Anse Pain du Sucre. Nice day. 🌞🌞

For those that are interested, here’s this afternoon’s snack.

It sounds very good Rob. How long was the hike?

Docked in St. Lucia today. FWIW, there’s a significant delivery of new outdoor furniture, crates of miscellaneous electronics and other mechanical-looking parts and pieces. And an equal removal of discarded furniture, electronics, recycling and other debris.

Today in St. Lucia. I have received an alert about safety concerns in Castries from the German Government. Apparently many reports of robberies and some of them including violence. Since I have been here before, I decided just to stay onboard today. A nice swim on the pool and a visit to the Bistro. Voila the Portuguese tarts 😊

Appropriate park in Castries.

In case you haven’t gotten your daily supply of fresh veggies.

Parting shot. Made it back onboard before the afternoon tropical deluge soaking.

For those that find the ship’s port guides useful, they are available every day at the shore excursions desk. A copy of today’s guide is attached as an example.

Another morning.

Saturday, I believe.  
I figured out Airdrop for picture transfer.😆 But still can’t get them into a post!  😩 

St. Barts today.  I’ll be checking on Heidi Klum and her sun burn.

 

David and Roniel have been meeting me at the Market place to help me get the best 6am coffee in the Caribe.  When I thank a crew teammate, more often than not, they thank us for coming back on board.  It takes such dedication to leave your home and family to work on a Cruise boat, I couldn’t do it, even when I wore a younger man’s clothes…

 

It’s 8 below in Denver.

NFL wild card games will be on ship’s TV.  Hope Crystal has a Peacock account 😜.

Bon appetito.

The sun returned this afternoon. Nice day in Gustavia.

Sunset and Louis sings and the sailboat-as-prop frames the setting sun. Nice.

Tomorrow’s menu and Reflections attached.

 

Tonight’s featured Galaxy main stage, Marco Romano. Wow. Well deserved standing ovation.

Good morning all.

We tender in to Great Harbor today.

While in school, I worked on a charter fishing boat and made several trips here.

Great memories 😆.

 

The halibut was a big hit in Waterside last night.

Chiefs’ game was on ESPN last night, no Peacock blackout outside USA I guess?

The whole ship was very chilly last night.

We will be searching for the perfect Tshirt and some Painkillers🍹.

 

Hugs,

Just in case anyone on board is thinking of watching the Buffalo-Pittsburgh game today you won't,  Postponed to Monday due to a coming blizard.

A rainy morning in Gustavia. A wealthy place. Reminds me of Cannes because of its yachts. It has lovely corners with many young people enjoying their champagne in fancy bars and restaurants. Others, not so wealthy just eating a baguette near the port. I also saw a Gypsy  telling somebody her fortune. Interesting Gustavia. My third visit here.

"Painkiller" in terms of pharmaceuticals or as in cocktails?

My favorite spot there is Le Select.  Where you can have a beer and watch the world go by without breaking the bank.  One third the price as the joint across the street.

 

And, FWIW, it is the original inspiration for Jimmy Buffet's tune "Cheeseburger in Paradise".  And the burgers are decent.
