Climb to the top of Pigeon Island ....

Every day I look out my window and I see Pigeon Island and last month James and I finally took ourselves out for a climb up to the top after a friend was surprised to learn we had not done it yet so off
we went ....

When we got to the fort on the island we came across these girls. They were laughing and having so much fun you would never think they were working out ... You go girls!

This is the Jambe De Bois bar on Pigeon Island. It's a lovely place. It's rustic, serves nice food and also hosts Jazz nights .....

There are two beaches on the island and a jetty which allows water taxi's to drop you off for the day 

Click here to learn about the history of Pigeon Island the British used it as a fort and look out post and put up a good fight against the French back in day..... It's a great place to visit when your in St Lucia and it hosts the yearly Jazz festival which happens every year in May.

Next stop a hike up the Piton's.

Happy Days!

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.

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

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 .....
