Our favorite restaurant on Pidgeon Beach, Antigua. After a long and sweaty hike through the hills and forts of English Harbour, this lobster salad tasted as good as it gets.

Ruby AKA also known as ROsediane Heffernan, my dear sister, finally made it to Antigua to visit us on Frannie B. Here we are on a shopping day in St. John's Antigua

Ned couldn’t resist getting this lovely new hat. Cool, sun protection and very hip looking. I wonder if Keri will let him wear it when he walks her down the aisle.

We’ve been to Martinique and Dominca and now we find ourselves in The Saintes, Guadeloupe. Our fashion is improving and our diets are out the window. Ned sports a new chic chapeau and we are feasting on crepes and French pastries for breakfast and dinner. Fortunately, we continue the enforced marches.

Here I am on one of our enforced marches enjoying the view and the bougainvilla. Each bush is more beautiful than the next. The sites underwater are equally amazing. We thank Sandee and Mike for taking us on so many wonderful dives, both day and night.

Since our engine was out of commission we had time to really enjoy Bequia, Such a lovely bay lined with cute little restaurants and shops and big tall hills ringing the bay. We spent nearly every day either hiking to the viewpoints or diving on some wonderful sites right in the bay. Here are the school children celebrating reading week dressed up as their favorite book characters. Some things are the same all around the world.
