Today we had an active day! We both worked out up on the FB on the bike trainer, enjoying the island scenery and the beauty of the yachts on the water. After showering and coffee, we went into town so that we could see the stores actually open (yeste…

St. Barth!
We left St. Martin this morning after a rolly night on anchor in Anse Marcel. The cove where the Radisson is located is almost unbearable, because the island’s landfill on the far northern side of the adjoining mountain range caught fire and has been…
Creme de la creme!
The last couple of days post-Carnival have been quiet. We did a bit of provisioning at the US Supermarche, although we encountered more difficulties than success in finding some basic necessities. Do you realize how many different types of cream the Fr…
Carnival in Grand Case
The electronics guys came bright and early this morning, replacing our VHF radio aboard Eclipse, rather than fixing the old one, as it was fried. Not that the poor guy made it easy on himself; he put in a new Raymarine radio rather than find a dup…
Hiking Pigeon Pea Hill (aka the mountain!)
It’s so nice to be home! After unpacking and re-acclimating to the island time, (one hour earlier than EST) we got back into live-aboard mode. We had the boat detailed while we were gone, and Sun, our detailing guy, did a fabulous job. The water was be…

Back to the Island!
Here we are, back to the island yet again! After a hectic whirlwind of two weeks stateside, from Florida to Colorado to Wisconsin and back to Florida once again, we are now back aboard Equinox. Happily, all our doctors appointments, correspondence obli…

Cruising Cuisine!
For dinner last night, we went back up and over the mountain to the lovely seaside town of Grand Case, considered by many to be the gastronomic center of St. Martin. Lovely! We had a great time wandering the waterfront street, checking out the posted m…
A busy day!
They are not kidding! Wednesday, we rented a car for the day to run some necessary errands. First order of business: refilling ALL of our propane tanks. We’d refilled two when we were in Turks and Caicos, but one of the tanks seemed to have a defe…
