It was 3:30 ish.
Lately when I've stopped there the lot is full of tour buses and others taking pictures (selfies even) of the beautiful vistas towards Simpson Bay. I spent nearly half an hour there one time and not one person went inside and bought anything, except me and a policeman.

Yes, that is Himels and he has a sub name as well, Bethel.
He apparently spent his time playing his piano there as Luis had his visit in 1995. Amazing.
Years ago I stopped in for a cold beer in the afternoon, and his helper was sound asleep and I couldn't wake him. So, I took the beers and told my wife that I'd go back later and pay. So, 2 days later I stopped in and Himel was there and I explained what happened. He reached into the cooler and said did you get Heineken, I said yes. He then handed 2 to me and said enjoy. He wouldn't take any money and said I was an honest man and should be rewarded.
Needless to say, I stop in every year now. Nice story!!

I would rather spend 7 days in an awful Caribbean location than spend one on some boat where I am told when and where to do things. I have never been in that situation however, because I research my vacations.

I was initially bummed that the construction wouldn't be finished by the beginning our recent October visit. But we realized once we got to SXM, and spent three days visiting Club Orient, that we didn't actually care about the beach shacks at all. We didn't want to put our clothes back on to go over there, anyway ! LOL The guests, the drinks, and the wonderful bartenders at the Perch have hooked us for life, I think.
