All Work & No play

Beach Club Bar, Rodney Bay

Makes Bill and Laurie really boring, so we took a day off on Saturday, sort of.  We wandered around town looking for ant traps (thank you Grenada Marine-NOT!) and a wind proof lighter for Bill...lighting cigars in highs winds can be a bit of a challenge!  We also needed it to heat shrink some electrical wrap on the (newly moved) stern light fixture.  Success on the ant trap front, not so much on the lighter :(  But we made sure to stop in at the beach bar for couple of attitude adjustment beverages, and enjoyed the afternoon watching boats, tourists and locals frolic on the beach and in the bay.  We meandered back through the grocery store for a couple of things, then headed back to the Marina for a much deserved Pizza.

 

We then decided (a couple of days later) that we needed a REAL day off...and there was Sandals Grande Saint Lucian, just sitting there, calling our name!  We arranged for a day pass, and had a lovely time lounging by the pool, talking with people from all over the world, and sipping frou-frou umbrella drinks.....we even sat in the (lukewarm) hot tub for a bit :)     Despite the late afternoon downpour, we thoroughly enjoyed the day, and would like extend a huge 'Thank you!" to R.E & Gramma Kay (Bill's mom & dad) for their generous Christmas gift that made our day possible! We definitely would not have done it otherwise.

Morning Nap

Sandals is all-inclusive, so we were able to eat in any of the restaurants.  We had a late breakfast....Crepes at Josephine's Cafe....

Our Bartender Mixes Bill & I a Drink Sampler

Don't let the number of drinks fool you-we really were just sampling!  The Orange in the middle was Peter's "specialty" drink, the green on the end was a Bob Marley Splash, and the white one was a  Lime Daiquiri....

Late Afternoon in the "Warm" Tub

Alas, all good things must come to an end, so it was back to our (very wet) dinghy, and out to Mañana....nicely relaxed & ready to face the bust workday waiting for in the morning....
