We've had an eventful few days on the Koningsdam. We were delayed getting away from the dock on the 3rd due to steering problems. They got put right by 1900 and we were on our way. We made it in time for arrival at St. Martin. Last night I must have got some bad seafood. Felt queazy most of the night. This morning, I puked up the supper. Felt a little better after the puke. Anita practiced piano this morning while I was trying to feel better. Eventually, We walked into town and bought Anita a wedding band. They took our last dollar, so we walked back to the boat. Got caught in a downpour on the way back. I stripped down and went back to bed. Anita joined me and we got up at 1400 and wandered up to the Lido deck for some hot water. Trying to rehydrate. Seems to be going OK, but slow.

Today I feel a bit better. I'm eating solid food, but nothing too greasy. Today is St. Lucia. They were not damaged by the hurricane. We walked top the foot of the dock. I did some wifi, I cleared the email and checked the news. Anita explored the shops in the hood. We walked back to the boat. I was a little tired from the food poisoning episode a couple of days ago. I slept for 2.5 hours while Anita played the piano. After that, I had a light lunch of bread and cheese with some fruit. That brings us up to date on the blog. I'm gonna sit in the hot tub this afternoon and sleep a little more. Definitely not up to full speed in energy or appetite.
Later..... Appetite slowly recovering. I'm still being very conservative at supper. As we sailed out of St. Lucia, we sailed by the Pitons. The cab driver on a tour we took last year called them the Dolly Partons. As it got darker, I noticed there were no lights on in the town.
