Great pictures, Linda. Thanks for posting them and your other great trip reports. It's amazing how empty Simpson Bay seems to be at this time of year, compared to when I'm normally there in January/February, when it is full of sailboats, cats (the boats, not the felines) and yachts.

Like you, I enjoy watching the cruise ships leaving at night, all lit up as they head west. It's a lovely sight to see while relaxing on the balcony. If I'm up early enough, I also get to see them come in from the west in the morning on their way to the terminal in Philipsburg.
