St. Maarten

On our last evening in Great Bay we discovered a fantastic small restaurant where they grilled the fish in his totality, meaning it came to your plate with head and fins. Lynn had not seen that before and when the “mama” of the place explained that the head was the finest part of the fish (especially the eyes), we were somewhat in doubt if she was joking or not. 

I must say I admired Lynn because she really tried to eat some pieces of the head (not the eyes though). But the meal tasted fantastic and “mama” came frequently by to see how we were doing. It was a very good ending of our visit to Philipsburg.

For the last few days we anchored in the Simpson Bay and Joel and Lynn could easily go with the dinghy to the sports bar to watch the Packers game on Saturday night.

Having had my whole life problems with saying good bye I stayed on the boat when Jacques brought our guests to land. We had a very good time and thanks again for the visit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we are preparing to leave for St. Barths tomorrow morning, shopping and going to the internet café to post all our news. The telephones don’t seem to work here, so we have not had any contact with anybody, but I will try this afternoon to get also to Facebook.

Everybody, have good times, talk to you from the next island, Ria
