Last Saturday we had a rum punch party on “Irie”. This Saturday we had a Mexican night on “Mojomo” which loosely translates into a tequila night. Although most of us were feeling jaded from the night before, we gathered on “Mojomo” a huge, beautiful catamaran; the perfect place for another get together. We are a multi national group, 6 of us are British including “Imagine of Falmouth” and “Mojomo”. We also have an American, a Canadian, a Belgian, a German, a South African and a New Zealander. Ages vary from 27 – 60 plus. But all this is pretty irrelevant out here where anything goes. The food was fab with chilli con carne and fajitas and burritos, oh, and of course Tequila. I think we have all mastered the art of making a fine Margarita now. Liz from “Gudrun” made delicious cinnamon rolls for dessert. By the end of the evening we were liquored up and pigged out. And then Jenga was bought out! Try playing that on a moving boat!

Weekend mini break in French St Martin
Happy bay is certainly that. Young (am I old already!) scantily clad people were playing ball on the beach, Seagrape trees offered shady respite to young families and dogs were frolicking in the sand. We spent a nice afternoon chilling on the beach and swimming in the beautiful but slightly cold sea. That night "Irie" joined us for dinner where Sim and I made them a meat and pasrty pie that we called the Pierie,in honour of their boat name and the product they sell from their boat (The Wirie – long range marine wifi). We ate so much we could barely move.
Sunday we chilled on board taking a refreshing dip in the sea in the afternoon, checking to see if the bottom of our boat was starting to grow its own eco system (it wasn't) and watching rays and finding sand dollars. That evening we joined "Irie" on their boat for another feast.
We had every intention of staying out a few more days but a swell had been forecasted to arrive from the north that could make this bay untenable so we left early on Monday morning and made the 8.30 bridge back into the lagoon. Where, we were ready to start another week in the hectic fast paced life of
