French Bread cooked while you wait. The top rows are uncooked Pomme Cannelle, which means apple and looks like a fruit that grows in the tropics.













Mt. Pele, Martinique. This volcano erupted in 1902 and killed all but one of 30,000 people in St. Pierre. It was then the capitol city and considered the Paris of the Caribbean.

Sunset Beach, St. Martin. A beach, with bar, where people congregate to watch the afternoon jets come and go. Quite spectacular!

Buck Island, St. Croix. Yes, this was a MAGIC spot.

Bicycling in Anagada, BVI’s. We took our snorkeling gear to what was reported the best beach on the island. It was an 11 mile trip, most over unpaved roads.

Stop Sign, St. John, USVI’s. This sign was on the street next to a church. You can not see the one which says “Thou shalt not park” because a car is parked in front of it!

Water Music in Culebrita, Puerto Rico. This spot was one of our favorite anchorages in the Caribbean, but the weather had to be settled.

Provisioning in Puerto Rico. We rented a car and did a major shop to start the provisioning for the passage to the USA. The costs in Puerto Rico were considerably less than in the other Virgin Islands.
