Day 05 St. Bart's Only 8 Sq. Mi. with 14 Beaches


What do you do on a tiny island with fourteen beaches?

Answer: Go to the beach. This is the Caribbean you know. It is famous as an escape for the rich and famous. Who knows, we might see Georgio Armani or Bon Jovi or Roman Abramowich.



 This is likely the only boat in St. Bart's that we could even come close to affording. I spent the afternoon aboard her. What a motley crew.


Today they brought my new refrigerator after I'd given up all hope of receiving one. Small wonders never cease! Editor's note: They never did charge me the $2 a day for the fridge. Hurrah!


 Roman Abramowich owns this yacht "Luna" (left) seen out our window. His larger boat, "Eclipse" is the largest private yacht in the world and according to the internet, is presently berthed in Barcelona, Spain.  Security was tight as we watched it re-position itself away from the proximity of our tender boats' course. A hovering patrol boat with security personnel kept small craft like Sea Doo's away with loud-hailers.
