So, for Pat… Saba, she be back, for the first time in a week. Beautiful morning here… We had breakfast of ham and cheese omelet, with a mimosa for me and bloody mary for Eric, courtesy of Carrefour! We went the other day and bought some groceries and they gave us some free vodka, so that called for bloody mary for Eric anyway! Then, we headed to Mullet, for a close to perfect beach day. The sand was slanted, going into the water, but almost no waves. Even I was able to get in and out of the water without any problem. There was one row of chairs on the water and that was pretty much it. I could have wished for a bit more wind, but otherwise, hard to complain. Of course, any day at Mullet would not be complete without ribs and chicken and fries from Rosie's! The wait is part of the fun! And, one should have your own properly chilled bottle of wine! Check out the scenery and the planes landing!

Looks like heaven to me and no Mt. Everest to scale when getting in and out of the water. Purrfect!!
Are the chair guys allowing a little more room between the chair set-ups? When we were there in April they were making them so close together you were hard pressed to walk through from the back to the front of the chairs when trying to access the water. It was a total turn off to me and the poor people in row three didn’t stand a fighting chance to get into the water unless they walked the length of the row and then to the sand cliff edge and down to the water.
You got lucky - a perfect ‘Mullet Kinda Day’ doesn’t happen every day. Save some for those who come behind you, please.
Respectfully,
pat

Great pictures! Looks like a great day. Another month and I will see for myself, hope to have a day like this. Thanks.
Except for his hair color changing a little, Eric always looks the same.

There was only ONE row of chairs. When we left there were a couple behind, but think they were local, it is Saturday and the kids where out in force!! Not bad, just from time to time the kids where having a yelling fun time. That is ok we enjoyed them. Several cruise ship passengers as well, actually right next to us, so was an enjoyable conversation. But back to you question, yes it was tight between the chairs (ok really tight). No problem getting to the water, one row, but getting back to the bar AND grill...… ok, Carol sent me anyway, so why are you worried????? (G) I mean really you are going back to get the food????? I thought DH was responsible -- sort of like me????

The first of the week, someone said it was totally flat calm and no drop off, so we took a chance today. Well, actually, we went by there yesterday afternoon to look and saw there wasn't a cliff, so went over today. We had some pretty good waves here the middle of this week, but it's calming down now. So hopefully it will be calm again tomorrow, for our last full day..

JD--Well, yes, only one bottle of wine. I didn't say there wasn't anything ELSE in the cooler! I think you mean Wendell? Looks like a great day.

Wingman--wish I was coming in two weeks, versus going home tomorrow! I can actually see Saba and three other islands this morning. Not sure which ones they are? I'm not sure a picture will turn out of them. Will give it a go with the long lens in a bit. All the staff here are GREAT, as always!

Fox--No, we rent a cooler and an umbrella from Craig at Packlight. Unless something has changed, the coolers from here are HUGE, way too big for us to carry to the beach.

Leona--The secret to the TV at BSV is to set PREFERENCES to show HD and non HD channels. The network channels are ONLY on non HD. The channel listing card shows only the HD channels. If you don't need the network channels, just type in the channel on the remote. Getting the non HD is more complicated.

Rosie's is on Mullet Bay Beach. Mullet Bay Beach is where the golf course is, past the airport and the Maho area but before the Cupecoy area. Mary's Boon is on Simpson Bay Beach, two different locations and beaches. Like most beaches, Mullet can change overnight, sometimes it is calm like bathwater and others times there is a cliff and 8' waves.
