Anguilla is beachy and Barbuda-esque. It is low and flat. It also has some of the most complex cruising permit rules (as we had been led to expect from Kazaio). Despite this we had a fabulous sail into Road Bay, dropping anchor in yet more clear water and heading ashore the following morning to clear in. The Blues were already in the bay and had done the recce and toured much of the island – having had the good fortune to not have to go anywhere near St Maarten (as they are shipping Open Blue back rather than sail her home). We decided to project ourselves around the island by hire car to experience some of the beaches. Mad Fish and Rafiki were going to do so by boat and kindly agreed to take Cameron with ... read more

Hier, je suis allé à la maison de mon ami. À ma grande surprise, j'ai trouvé sa garde-robe plein de belles choses, des sacs, des vêtements, et beaucoup de chaussures sous la garde-robe. Parce que, elle avait l'habitude d'être économe et n'aiment pas à acheter de belles choses. Parce que tu sais, si tout le monde veut être beau, les belles choses sont toujours les plus chères. Donc, je lui demande pourquoi elle a tant d'argent pour acheter ce genre de choses, elle m'a dit que le secret qu'elle a acheté en ligne. J'avais l'habitude de Untrust les choses en ligne. Alors qu'elle achète, et heureusement, c'est bon et pas cher, oui, pourquoi ne pas essayer? Alors que, je peux économiser beaucoup d'argent pour acheter beaucoup d'autres choses. En tant que dit le proverbe, tuer deux ... read more

Since the last update has been a while. As you might know I have been working as the Health Projects Coordinator for the local Charit Fundacion Mariposas Amarillas (yellow Butterflies) for the last 6 weeks here in Santa Marta. The organisation is doing great and there are a lot of positive changes happening here at the moment. SO here is a little bit about what we do in our 2 communities with the adult population. We work in 2 neighbourhoods of Santa Marta, Oasis and Fundadores. In Oasis, we have been established longer, which is why things have been happening there since the beginning of the year. We have done questionnaires and gathered valuable information from the women in Oasis to see what the problems were in the area and how we could help. The women ... read more

April 26, 2011 – Sandy Beach Harbor, Anguilla We arrived in Aguilla the Saturday before Easter Sunday, April 23, 2011. After anchoring in Sandy beach harbor, 4-8 took the rest of the watch again which makes a long day for us. This means our day started at 3:30am with our first watch. Then after 8am we went to all hands to prepare for our arrival. I think we must have been anchored/cleared thru customs by 1 or 2. The rest of the watches jumped for shore while the 4-8 stayed to do topsides (riding in a little skiff around the boat using “ospho”-osphoric acid- to remove rust stains and fresh water rinsing afterward then doing any touch up paint jobs to the sides of the ship and repainting the water line). Luckily they did the big ... read more

Anguilla's history has been quite a story to tell. In 1967, Britain granted Saint Kitts and Nevis full internal autonomy, and Anguilla was also incorporated into this, against the wishes of many Anguillians. This led a rebellion with a boat full of Anguillans heading to St Kitts with an American mercinary. There was guns fired with noone injured and since then Anguillan achieved what they were fighting for and were allowed to secede from St Kitts and Nevis and is now a British Overseas territory. It is said that they took particular umbridge to the Governor of St Kitts publicly stating that the Anguillans will do as they are told and that St Kitts is not a nation to be messed with. It's quite a flat island and is quite pricey with large exclusive resorts. It ... read more

The next day and it was time for the last trip to a new island. This one was called Anguilla. It was another short 30 minute boat ride after driving to Marigot in St. Martin. We met some people from England on the boat and shared a taxi to Shoal Bay.....This was an incredibly beautiful beach. Daddy and I had so much fun in the very blue water. We had an awesome rib lunch (yes, I ate ribs so many times on this trip, not what you would think on an island hopping adventure). After a day of fun in the sun, we took a boat back to Marigot, St. Martin and did some shopping, and then drove back to our hotel in Sint Maarten.... read more

PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Michael Vick(notes) got a warning from teammate DeSean Jackson(notes) right before he was injured.“I told him: ‘Don’t take no hits like that. We can’t afford you taking hits,”’ Jackson said. “He’s just trying to make things happen.” Vick didn’t listen, and he ended up with a rib cartilage injury that may force him to miss at least Philadelphia’s next game at San Francisco. If Vick can’t play, Kevin Kolb(notes) gets another chance to prove he can be the No. 1 quarterback. Kolb began the season as Donovan McNabb’s(notes) successor, but lost his job when he sustained a concussion in Week 1 and Vick played exceptional in his absence. The offense struggled without Vick in Philadelphia's 17-12 loss to McNabb and the Redskins on Sunday. The Eagles (2-2) now travel to face a desperate 49ers team ... read more

SAN DIEGO (AP)—Chargers running back Ryan Mathews(notes) missed his second straight practice Thursday with a high ankle sprain.The rookie’s prospects of playing decrease with every missed practice, making it less likely he’ll be available for Sunday’s game at Seattle. The fact that Mathews is sitting out two days is not a good sign he will play Sunday. Mathews was optimistic Wednesday that he could play against the Seahawks. Yet, the Chargers are likely going to be very cautious with Mathews. He said Sunday he could have returned to the game but the Chargers were blowing out the Jaguars.“I can play,” Mathews said. “There’s a difference between being hurt and being injured. I can play in pain. It may be a bit uncomfortable, but as long as my bone’s not sticking through the skin, I’m good to ... read more
