Kenny, Captain Sunshine, our tour guide du jour, and highly recommended for anyone else visiting St. Kitts...was fabulous! We got a detailed description of the spots along the west coast up to Brimstone Hill and Fort Charles. This is a fort to beat all forts! I said that I could care less if I saw another one, as every single island in the Caribbean has a fort at a strategic entrance to a significant harbor protecting it from either the French or the Brits...but I have to admit this was amazing if only for two reasons... the restoration feat and the views! Spectacular! This part of the tour was designed for the guys and I was gaga over the rainforest!

We got the hike of all hikes! Unfortuneatly, for Dudley, he answered my request for the physical aspect of hiking, 1,000 feet straight up, complete with walking sticks... as well as the flora and fauna to be appreciated and immortalized thru my photography! Dudley and the two 'girls' from the Marriott were somewhat taken aback...however, our friends Vicky and Ed on SV Boto, were willing and able and we had a blast!!!!!

Thanks Kenny, the tour was great...the petroglyphs very cool, the home in Liamuiga where you were born, your Dad who raises the vervet monkeys was a class act as you are...and your Mom and brother were gracious as well. The fact that it was "Labor Day" and we saw the parade in town with the Prime Minister laid back in his straw hat and hanging with the local folks in the heat of the rabble rousing was pretty cool too! Politics in action right before our eyes, island style!
