BEERMAN, considering where the fort sits on St Kitts I'd guess that island might be Eustatia (sp)?

Based on that hint and the PC on the auto tag my next guess would be Panama City.

Please do tell about Morgan Freeman. He seems like he would be an extremely interesting man!!
Trellis Bay?

He was unrecognizable, but very personable. We talked about single-handing sailboats and once I heard his distinctive voice I knew who he was! He goes by a pseudonym at the docks so that tourists don't recognize him immediately. At the time his wife was building a house on island and he disassociated himself from the project by spending time on his boat and reading. I spent time talking with him as a neighbor and watching the cricket world cup at the local bar on the only TV. I was impressed by his polite demeanor when people barged in on our table and demanded autographs - I suppose that is a price of fame! I also had a great experience a year or two later with Brian Johnson (of AC/DC fame) at the docks - I'm sure he enjoyed it more than I since I didn't recognize him until many beers and stories had passed!
No, not Trellis Bay - somewhat further south...
