Re: First Visit - Staying at Azure

I haven’t stayed there but have friends that have. I believe it is the place that Lucy Baker had years ago. Not really a hotel with any sort of amenities but more of a small guest house. It’s on the beach I believe so that’s a plus.

Our Annual Quest For Regatta Lodging Has Been Solved
Whale Tail
4 hours ago
Our number one time of the year to be on island is for the Heineken Regatta, which means that we have to be looking for a place to stay at least a year in advance. Well no more  We are currently staying at SBR in the B buildings at the same time as Legal49 and because George and John have moved to sunny California they no longer need a winter getaway from Michigan. So The Whale Tail family are now going to have their 1 bedroom unit for all future Regattas. We couldn't be happier!! Tonight, they graciously invited us to join them for appetizers in their unit and the food was delicious and again we have made new TTOL friends. And even though they are going to be in California we feel this friendship is just beginning  . We have been coming to SXM for 4 weeks during the Regatta and now it's up to 5 weeks, which I believe was Mrs Whale Tail's plan all along.

Moulin Fou Restaurant
Scotia
6 hours ago
We enjoyed an amazing meal at the Moulin Fou on our last night on island before returning home to Canada. My wife had the red snapper filet and I had the Dover sole filet followed with the tiramisu and a few complimentary shots of a very tasty rum liqueur. The french decor of the restaurant is very unique and we were pleased to have met the gracious and friendly owner M, Hebert. The meal and dessert presentations were of a very high standard with the flavours of each truly delicious. This is french fine dining but with a casual, unpretentious atmosphere. We wholeheartedly give this restaurant a “two thumbs up” review and you would be remiss to not try it while in the area.

Re: Another Departure Question
Scotia

The Beachside Villas look great! We are really enjoying The Fourteen on Mullet Bay. The views, 2 minute walk to beautiful Mullet Beach and close to amenities have won us over. We also enjoyed the day spent at Anse Marcel. Totally different french european vibe from the Dutch side but the quiet atmosphere was relaxing. Next trip we may split our time between the two locations as my wife is bilingual and really enjoys using her french language whenever possible. We have a trip back to France coming up in May/June that we are looking forward to as well.

Re: Has anyone charted the Moorings Dufour 44.3?

Yesterday at 10:48 PM
The 46.3 is a great monohull! I agree. With the extra beam and twin rudders it can be almost rail in the water and still have helm control. On our last charter we came out of an island wind shadow with way too much sail up. The wind hit us and we were flying, probably 8-9 knots SOG. I was on the helm but never felt out of control so we kept the sails up and enjoyed the ride. The only (mild) complaint I have would probably apply to the new Dufour. The Moorings folks really don't know a whole lot about the monos they still have in their fleet. The staff member on our boat checkout didn't know much about the 46.3 but in his defense he got people out with the answers he didn't know.

Been all over the world. Aside from some Asian stuff, hard to beat Bistrot Caraibes. The brothers run a nice ship.

Re: First Visit - Staying at Azure

I stay at the Horny Toad, sort of "next door" to Azure. On the beach within walking distance: K, Mary's Boon, and further, D's. Going the other direction is Secret Seafood, but it hasn't been getting very good reviews lately. You can get to it either from the beach or the road that becomes one way at the cemetery.
Also within walking distance on the main road: Dingy Dock, Sale & Pepe (mixed reviews), Little Jerusalem, The Palms (usually excellent reviews, try their filet mignon), Balls and Wine, Palapa, Vesna Taverna.
Enjoy! You are on a great stretch of beach although the water is often too rough to get into.
