St Martin 20th September 2011

An island we know well after spending a lot of time here on Heat Wave!  Half the island is French and the other half Dutch, with a population of about 75,000, plus about a million tourists per year.  The ship arrived in Philipsburg.

Charlotte got to see her good South African friend Harmony, who lives in St Martin.  They played on the beach for a lot of the day.


Jimmy went to an ENT doctor to get a better opinion on what was growing on his neck.  The verdict was that he should get it biopsied and probably removed sooner rather than later.  Bearing in mind our future travel plans, he made the decision to fly back to NY the following day, to hopefully get it all sorted out before we head out into the Pacific Ocean.
