Rendezvous Report & Lake Atrium
Whale Tail
57 minutes ago
Well this report was almost finished this morning. After all the typing was done and I was adding pictures and couldn't find one then it happened, my whole report was gone. Extremely frustrating so I went to the pool bar and played Bingo. My wife and I won all 3 games  We won a free drink which I gave to our friend from Wisconsin, a free lunch at Juliettes, and the grand prize of a sunset cruise on Lambada.
The music at Rendezvous was great as always. In addition to the regular female singer Lolo there was also 2 local female singers that each did a couple of songs. Then there was a keyboard player Norwin Mergler from Quebec who is one of the founding members of the Rendezvous Jazz group who has been on island for a few weeks now and this was his last performance.
The one thing that has changed since our last time there in January is that they have squeezed more tables into their corner of the courtyard and expanded the perimeter with more tables and have blue gazebo type tents over those tables. Well the wind picked up and 1 of those tents collapsed and landed on the people sitting there. With the added tables it makes it harder for the wait staff and the kitchen staff to keep up with the orders and slows things down a bit. It also makes it harder for me to take pictures from the table so most of the pics are from the side.
WendyK never misses a Rendezvous Sunday and my Sunday would not be complete without a hug and a kiss from her.
It's been pretty windy here lately and with rain. Not the 10 minute light rain that happens but when it rains it comes down in sheets. But the sun always breaks through eventually. Today I walked down to Zee Best and Lake Atrium was full. I had to walk up the ramp to the Atrium front doors to avoid the lake

Jellyfish!
KGB
Yesterday at 11:01 PM
A few days ago we were at the Bae Rouge and friend yelped out of the water! She came out and said that something slashed her! We looked at her back and saw a red mark about 7-9 inches long . He arm also got some when she was pushing away whatever it was… The waters were calm and clear but I couldn’t see any jellyfish there.
Today at Mullet- same story but this time it’s our friend’s daughter. Got stung on her arm and leg. Nothing major but painful enough…
I knew that there are some jellyfish around here in a summer months but we never seen one in a winter in our 20+ years of coming here….
So be careful out there folks.

Book title and author
Sandsailsun
03/01/2026 02:11 PM
Several years ago i bought a book from a lovely man about his and his wifes time on Little Thatch then on Jost having built the original sandcastle on White bay.
Cant remember the name of the book or his name . I am currently on Great Camanoe and just watched the movie about Marina Cay . So fascinating! Will go check out the house they built tomorrow.
My book is at home and i will read it again once i am back . He even taped a flint he had recovered from a shop wreck to the back page with a certificate of authenticity. A nice personal note also . Feel privileged to have this book .
Any help with my aging memory would be greatly appreciated!

A Few Random Pics
Whale Tail
03/01/2026 11:04 AM
Just a few pics from our phones.
There's a private residence beside our resort that has a rooster and a parrot in the backyard. The rooster crows first thing in the morning which is not a problem because that's about the time I get up anyways. The parrot says hello if you talk to it. The yellow bird is from Juggies place.
Today we're off to Cupecoy for the Rendezvous Jazz Brunch.
