Sitting here reading on a beautifully bright and sunny morning when out of the blue, a freaky rain squall came through. The waves are rolling again and I can barely see the ocean water from our deck due to the rainfall………seems to me, this was how our trip began this year and I do hope it isn’t going to end in like fashion but if it does, I guess that’s life!

And now, ten minutes later, it’s gorgeous again.

Aha! Victory at last! We were on a mission this morning to finally find Monique and we did. Since we saw her last in April she hasn’t changed one bit but has traveled a whole bunch more miles to more awesome destinations. Our search for her caused us to try another place we’d always meant to try but never had - Lagoonies. We went late for breakfast (or early for lunch?) so we settled on brunch. Different from the Yacht Club but equally nice in its own way. No bridge openings or moving megayacht sitings but yachts moored all over the place. I’m not certain moored is the right terminology but you get my drift I’m sure, and they’re from all over the world, but even more up close and personal. It was a new island perspective for us but we were easily able to pick out the Royal Palm, Simpson Bay Yacht Club (I think that’s the right name……..) and Port de Plaisance. They all looked so very different from our normal viewing perspectives when seen from this new location. And there was no vehicle noise and/or car horns beeping which makes for a far more relaxing meal.

Spent some time back at BSV chatting with friends and then, nappy time.

Dinner was with friends at Skip Jacks again. We laughed and visited and it was a perfect dinner, right up to the second downpour of the evening when the staff had to close the weather drapes. Food was yummy and the company was great. By the time we got home, Whitesands Lake had once again gone over its banks but a very slow passage and all was good.
