As you can see from the photos St. Maarten is the home of the mega yachts. Over the holidays the number of them went down to about 45 at the docks, after the 3 Rd. of January they started to fill up again. This is just an estament
but I would guess there is a 1/2 Billion dollars worth here at the moment. Some are too large to get into the Lagoon and have to stay on anchor out in Simpson's Bay. The largest yacht that can get in here is 320 Ft. Stephen Spielberg's yacht is too large and so is the ugliest yacht in the world. That's the one I put in the blog from Guadeloupe.
Oh by the way the second ugliest yacht in the world is here also and I included a photo down below. Maybe some of you space age folks won't think so but Karen & I do.
We are just sitting here for the last 17 days waiting on a new Inverter/ charger from Marine.com now I'm not going to tell you how P.OD. I am about this wait, because I don't want to burn the keys up on my computer. Their excuse is the blizzard and FedEx would not pick it up. I just won't order anything from them. They normally have the lowest prices,but I cut off my nose to spite my face if I wait somewhere on them again.
There really not too much to do here unless you like to go to rough beaches or shop so we just work on the boat. Boy after 17 days there is not much left to do. We have caught up with a years worth of thing that we have put off. The only thing left is the %$#*&!@# Inverter/ Charger.
Well I'll wish you all a Happy New Year and SEE Y'all Down the Road
Mike & Karen
There ain't much to do in Key West these days accept find a way to keep warm! Another cold spell this weekend, after a few good days. But, if you were here you'd be trying to keep warm with people that love you and, trust me, you are hard to love! However, Karen is easy to love, so you can ride on her dress's hem! New granddaughter due at the same time I am in NYC to sign book, so it will be a fun ride up. Wanna come with me?
