Imagine that! Yesterday their "schedule" for load shedding for here in Beacon Hill was supposed to be 10 am to noon. According to Myra at AAA, electric was off from 1 PM to just after 3. Today, the 'schedule' for Beacon Hill says 11 AM to 1 PM. It's now noon and the electric is still on. Oh, and I looked for a Daily Herald yesterday at Carrefour and could not find one. Turns out the DH didn't publish yesterday because of power outages. Meanwhile, we went to Super U this morning for several things, and ended up going to Carrefour by the causeway and ended up having to go to the Maho market for hamburger dill pickles!!! Eric often gets hiccups and the only way he can get rid of them, it seems, is hamburger dill pickles! Last trip we had to make an 'emergency' trip to Maho for them. So we made sure we had them this time. Today is a beautiful day, WARM, but breezy. We are going to cook burgers on the grill for lunch, once Vickey delivers the grill! ![smile smile](/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) They said it's coming soon.. Water is closer to the buildings here than we have seen in a while. There was a LOT of seaweed coming in the past couple of days, but the beach here is clean. Not so much for next door at D's, and CocoVaa. Seaweed is horrible there. Will try to take a couple pictures here soon and upload, so long as we still have electric anyway.

OK, electric went out at 1, back on around 3:15. Just got back from a few hours at the pool. Going to relax a bit and then clean up to go out to dinner, thinking about Bar Code.

We are here until the 17th. We don't drive to the French side after dark much, but do plan on getting to Orient and possibly Grand Case or Marigot during the day.

Check out Bacchus in Hope Estate if you want a fancy lunch. Worth the hike and higher cost if you like French cooking, IMHO. Great Wine shop and Deli as well. https://bacchussxm.com/en/saint-martin-en/

Thanks for the recommendation. Bar Code was not great. The best part of the evening was seeing several dogs in that area. Missing my pooches at home!

Carol if you make it to orient, would love to see any pics of the club o demolition work. Seeing Papagayo last November was pretty painful.

So Carol, youโre getting a taste of the frustrating daily life here. This morning weโve been without power (Simpson Bay Yachr Club) for 4 hours so far. Itโs 08.10 now, there was a one-second blip about 25 minutes ago. Maybe thatโs enough to keep our meat frozen for the day.

Ritchard--from 4 am to now? Wow. Today the electric is solid, up to now.
Jeepers--I'm with you, I prefer a view. Thinking about possibly Grand Case or Marigot.

The load shedding schedule has NEVER been right in the past three weeks, according to a couple that is staying here. It certainly wasn't correct for either Friday or Saturday..
