Part of the routine when we get there (SXM and BSV) provisions and to the Ace on Bush Road to grab an umbrella. They have some nice ones with the screw in sand auger that stay put. We make sure to put enough tilt on it so the wind is pushing down on the canopy, not getting up under it etc. Haven't broken one yet on that beach, knock on wood.


"We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came." ~ John F. Kennedy
