Wishing you, all, a very Merry Xmas! It, really, doesn’t feel like Christmas, here. It is around 80F and we have torrential downpours, which are unusual for the time of year. We miss the smell of gently roasting turkey, of all things! And there are no Christmas crackers!

You may remember my surprise at seeing ducks roosting in the trees, within the grounds of the Holiday Inn in Bradenton? This was to protect themselves from racoons. Here, it is the chickens, which roost in the trees! This is to protect themselves against cats! The cats do not climb trees in Virgin Gorda!

I have uploaded three photos: one is of the Club Med II under sail; another is of the view from our balcony; and the third is of Maggie being lifted out of the water by two dolphins…..her expression says it all!
