It's a small world! Few days ago I was in South Africa. Next I spent a week in Bangkok at home and two days in Saigon. No, here I am, a little further. It is truly a small world! On last Wednesday, I'm flying early to Saigon. Bump in an old friend I hadn't seen for years at the airport...he is on my flight. Up to here, it's kind of normal. On my Bangkok to Paris flight few days ago, I only met two other friends I hadn't see for a while. But on the flight to Saigon, while boarding, a young French couple ask me. Were I skiing in Queenstown back in July? Well, yes...and they recognized me....we chatted for ten minutes on a chairlift back in July this year....that's a small world! So on ... read more

26thMarch – Rodney Bay Marina, St Lucia Happy Birthday Phil and Happy Wedding Anniversary Bren and Eliza!! I made chocolate brownies in celebration. Had to motor most of the way as the wind was right on the nose, and how lovely to enter the marina. It’s a very large, well protected marina....and Boomerang is here. Went out for Thai dinner at a restaurant that is part of the marina complex. Had a lovely evening then the boys, Debby and I left John and Phil still celebrating. The next day Phil was very ‘tired’ and ‘dehydrated’. Hmmmm 27th: Boomerang boys stayed over the night. Took them out for pizza and icecream for dinner and then relaxed back on board with a movie. A very pleasant night. 28th: Late breakfast waiting for boys to wake up then took ... read more

To say that Saint Lucia, the Helen of the West is "simply beautiful" is an enormous under statement. Saint Lucia's beauty encompasses not only its awesome terrain, lush green landscapes, the spectacular World Heritage Pitons, the wide variety of scenery from north to south and east to west but it goes deeper than that - its people and their laid back friendliness. Unlike many a tropical island that I can think of much further away, St. Lucia retains a flare and character that makes it unique and worth experiencing. I will attempt through my blog to give a sense of what the island is and what its people are like. Enjoy it and you are most welcome to contact me or comment as you like. I was privileged to have been born on this jewel of ... read more
