We have done some running around but haven't seen anything yet!

 

We have been doing some shopping and looking for parts to finish the water maker. Wednesday we decided while in France do as the French do. So as we were out we stopped and bought a baguette a bottle of wine (or maybe 2) some French cheeses and a few meats and that was dinner. It turned out to be a great diner and a great night. We even started talking a little French! WE WE!

Thursday we had to go to a marine store on the Dutch side of the island. We got what we wanted and also walked up to the ACE Hardware store for a few more items. Laurie loves going to the hardware store!
 We have also been keeping a close watch on the weather. So we have moved from Marigot Bay to Simpson Bay Lagoon and hooked onto a mooring ball for the rest of hurricane season. We are an area surrounded by hills on 3 sides and we are right next to the "Witches Tit". Yep that's what it's called! See below.

Witches Tit protects us to the north

 Hills protect us to the east

We hope we don't get wind from the south or west

 

 

So once again it time for;

 

So Here's Interesting Tidbits S.H.I.T. for short.

 

St Martin and Sint Maarten is an island divided across the middle. The north part is French and the south part is Dutch. There is a story that is unsupported by historical fact that the French and the Dutch  were so civilized that rather than fight over the island they had a Frenchman armed with a bottle of wine walk in one direction starting in the north end of the island. A Dutchman equipped with a bottle of Gin walk in the other direction starting at the south end of the island. Where they met would be the boundary of the two countries. The French have more land because the Gin was a lot more stronger that the wine!
