We love our Turtles .....

Jallim Eudovic is a well known artist on the island. He has travelled to China, Africa and the UK exhibiting his sculpture's. After his long trips away around the world he always comes home to St Lucia inspired to create his next piece of art and most recently he created a beautiful sculpture for Prince William & Kate's wedding as the official gift from the nation of St Lucia, check out his Facebook page for pictures of his wonderful creations. 

When Jallim came to visit us while renovating Good Expectation he was keen to contribute in someway so we figured the best thing would be for him to join in with the painting of the hull but he wanted to do something more .....

Originally Good Expectation had some pretty fishes painted on the stern but they slowly faded while the renovations were taking place .....


So we asked him to come up with something to replace them. He went away and came back with the idea of an Amerindian Turtle design.  Amerindians were the indigenous people of the Caribbean also known as the Arawaks & the Caribs.



Turtle's taking shape .....



Stencil on .....


And now he paints.....


We think they look gorgeous our lucky mascots, our Amerindian Turtles steeped in history, in memory of those who got into their canoes to cross the seas to the islands of the Caribbean.

We Love Our Turtles .....

Thanks Jallim!


Happy Days!

A pictures says a thousand words .....

Photographer Dani Devaux took some time out of her busy schedule to come down to the marina to view our boat Good Expectation. Dani is a photographer on the island and she always manages to get that picture that captures the moment so well, so we figured she was the right person for the job.

Getting some ideas Dani.....


We had a little but very important problem .... We had no engine ..... yet! So we had to be towed out to get some pictures out on the water. With the help of the IGY crew we managed to get a dingy to tow us out 


We also had some friends on board to set the social scene.....

Soriah who could not help but pick up the guitar and have a sing

"Are you going Scarborough fair la la"


Charles looking damn fine in his Jus'Sail t-shirt


 Charles and James



Herbert our First Mate with his pal from Canada Chuck

Picture taken by Dani

And of course the Captain James





Chuck was getting so excited about being out on the water he actually thought he was sailing .... No Chuck your still being towed.....


James and Herbert finding a spot to anchor .....
This photo taken by Dani

Charles being a sea fairing man had to also check to make sure everything was in place


Yep no sea birds


Yep everything nice and secure .....

Here is a sneak preview of some pictures Dani took on the day there will be more to view in the coming weeks on the Jus'Sail website 

Jus'Sail will be offering only the very best in local food and drink .....




Snacks anyone





As I mentioned before these pictures are just a taster of what Dani took on the day and boy did she work hard so she figured it was time to take a well earned break .....


It was a fun filled day had by all


You can find us on Facebook and I hope you like us!

Happy days!

Wow wee what a week .... Good Expectation finally in the water!

What a busy and eventful week I have had and the reason for this is because James and I have finally got Our boat Good Expectation out of the spray tent and into the water.....

After 5 weeks of painting

 And more painting
  
And more painting



We finally moved her out into the bright St Lucian sunshine!



Carried her



Into the water


This picture was taken last year in Antigua when I first saw her sitting pretty in the water with the Galleon beach behind her


But boy does she look different now and I look forward to posting another picture in a similar setting soon!


Our first First Mate Herbert kept painting right up until the last minute


We had friends who have been a great support and who we would like to thank for turning up .....

Early Christmas treat at Jalousie ....

James and I were offered a night at the beautiful Jalousie hotel which is just south of the village of Soufriere, nestled between the world famous Pitons. So we packed our overnight bags and headed south.....

We always stop here to take in the great view of Soufriere and what a view....


We have arrived hooray!


Yes, even in St Lucia on a hot and sunny holiday season you get an impressive Christmas tree ... What a welcome at Jalousie


The Jalousie hotel was originally a working sugar plantation you can still see evidence of it on the grounds



For more photos and a bit more history on Jalousie check out the Jus'sail Blog

We finally got to our room .... Gorgeous!


A deep bath made for two .....




And there's more .....



We finally decided to leave the room and head down to the beach which is set between the famous Piton's


And before you hit the beach you pass the great house I just had to have a photo


Beautiful gardens with the gorgeous flowers .....






And the impressive pool area 


Ah the beach!




St lucia is one of those romantic places where couples come to get married .....



We stayed on the beach until the sun went down .....


Happy days ..... and many more to come!
