if ya read the stories, watch the news, listen to the random strangers.. Saint Lucia is a rough island. I myself have been reading the island news and the random violence does not sound promising, but every one we meet and talk to know about the incidents but still carry on with the happy island theme. It just seems worse, as a small island, but its still a lovely place and we will be back soon.

Good thing we are a party of three. Sugar Shack is floating, can cleaner than a whistle. Stupendous care at the end of the pier. Oh my the teak work is awesome, the sugar scoops on sugar shack have never looked so nice. Time will tell, but first impressions as we have been aboard for several hours, are phenomenal. It happens that the folks ( will add names tomorrow ) were working on the boat next door when we arrived. Had I known, I would have definitely bought them a beer or two. Now we are torn, between letting Grenada refinish the table or just wait and let our good friends in St Lucia complete the work. *sigh*

Its almost midnight here (or I hope the clock is right on the iPad), the wind is calm, we will find some provisions, the nourishment type, and possibly head south tomorrow.
