Regatta Day 1Whale Tail4 hours agoWe stayed in our room this morning and had breakfast on the balcony and watched the boats head out for their first day of racing. The bridge opened at 8:30 and was up for 1/2 hour. The traffic must have been backed up a long ways. Before racing started there was a pretty good downpour and afterwards it was pretty hazy. So my pictures are not the best but the good ones will come. The start line was towards Cole Bay and as near as I could figure they went around Point Blanche and up the east coast a little ways and back.

Our 2025 trip to St Martin on YouTubeLancerYesterday at11:58 PMHi Everyone, I got permission from Carol to post a link to a video of our 2025 trip to St.Martin. We stayed in a studio apartment in Orient Village and visit Bikini Beach Bar in this video. If you're interested, there are a total of 7 videos where we visit Le String, Friar's Bay, Orange Fever, Sunset Beach Bar and a few restaurants during our stay. This is our first attempt at posting on YouTube and hope to post our 2026 trip in the future.
The video says Episode 10 only because we have 9 videos before it of a cruise and a few other things. The St. Martin videos are Ep. 10 and forward.
Dinner At Pelican Beach GrillWhale TailYesterday at11:38 AMWe went to the Pelican for dinner last night which is located at The Flamingo. They have a Tuesday night lobster special for $30, so the price is right. They also have a Sunday afternoon lobster grill on the beach on charcoal grill which we haven't tried yet. For $30 you get a lobster tail, rice, coleslaw and a little mac and cheese. We had to ask for some melted butter which took awhile and when it arrived it didn't look or taste like melted butter. The service was not the best. Probably won't try it again but you won't know unless you try it once.
They also have performers doing a fire dance which was pretty neat to watch.
Also included a couple of pics of a rainbow this morning, and a passenger ship called Emerald Azzurra that looks more like a private yacht than your typical cruise ship.
