The chalet closest to Papagayo (among the beach-side units) was owned by Fred and Shirley. Those readers who have been around for quite awhile will a recall a red-painted dory that was anchored just off shore at that position. Fred had built that himself. It was sort of a landmark. The boat was featured in many of the paintings that Mair Patterson would paint while sunning herself at the beach, and which she sold there and reproductions of which were also for sale at the Club O shop. I cannot remember which year it was she was told she could no longer sell her works on the beach and was so upset she left and has never returned as far as I know.
