Hello all.

As I promised, "she" has included some pictures or (just one it seems) of my friends here in St. Lucia. At least, I hope they are friends, but I am not so sure! There are 4 strapping lads and one scrappy little terrier or something. The latter is the warning or siren dog. He alerts the other 4 big guys to come pay attention and also, that there will be some fun ahead!

In the picture, they are welcoming me to the island. I'm not so sure about that however. "She" tried to get a photo of their foaming mouths, but as I mentioned, "she" is not so competent and we were in some big hurry.

This is my strategy. I play it cool. I get out of the dinghy and prance up the walkway knowing they will be waiting at the back of the property. Then I pause....., and let them anticipate my arrival. We manage to clear the area and depart but I know my friends will be eagerly waiting for my return.

I keep them waiting. It would be ever so nice if we could pull one over on them and depart while they were asleep at the switch. Such has not been the case.

So, strategy #2: I saunter down the walkway, with minions in tow. I wait while they prepare the dinghy for departure. They are so slow. Once we are all aboard and untethered and the motor starts to HUM, I give my "friends" some very strong departing barks. I know I am on top of things now, so we have some lively repartee which is always so pleasant from a distance!

I have a few other issues to air, but really do need some beauty sleep.

Arf, ARf, ARF!!
