Summer Maintenance projects loom! Robert has been seen browsing the catalogues: Budget Marine, Island Water World and West Marine. He also keeps himself entertained with his extensive library of boat maintenance books .
We pick up the free tourist guides and maps for each country as we go, for up to date information about sites we might like to visit by land. We are currently digesting Doyle’s Cruising Guides to the Windward Islands and Trinidad and Tobago, and also a loaned copy of “A Cruising Guide to Trinidad and Tobago” by Stephen J. Pavlidis.
“Morgan Freeman & Friends Caribbean Cooking for a Cause” by Wendy Wilkinson and Donna Lee is constantly out of our bookshelf these days. Wandering through the markets and seeing the fresh tropical fruits and vegetables that are essential to the recipes inspires us to create some of the dishes featured in the book, as enjoyed by Morgan and his friends. The cookbook sprang out of the Grenada Relief Fund set up to help rebuild Grenada following Hurricane Ivan in 2004. See our food blog.
Trish has just finished reading “The Grapes of Wrath” by Steinbeck and “Rigged” by Ben Mezrich. “Rigged” is “The true story of an ivy league kid who changed the world of oil, from Wall Street to Dubai” and provides an interesting look into the massive scale of development in Dubai. Trish is currently reading “The Good Enough Teen” by Brad Sachs, Ph.D.

Good to hear from you. I plan to celebrate July 4th in Union with Nikita, then Carriacou Sunday and Grenada, somewhere, on Monday or Tuesday. Depends, somewhat, on the weather.
What's shakin' in St. David's Bay? Are you planning to haul Bristol Rose or just checking them all out?
If you see Astarte, Michael & Barbara, say hi. They are around Prickley Bay, planning to head west just before I arrive.

Don't forget the turtles.
Yum! 3 parts rum, 4 parts pineapple juice, 1 part cream of coconut, 1 part orange juice and a generous amount of fresh nutmeg on top, some chocolate on the side - seems you got it all! Cheers! Stephanie (back in Florida...)
