My first view of St Lucia! Right there off my balcony!! Gros and Petit Pitons!
And even better - guess who came to visit?? My cousin Cathy and Rod - for 16 days!!
Cathy & Rod got to St Lucia yesterday and stayed at Fig Treetop resort - they had a great view of our SHIP pulling into Soufriere Bay this morning. I tendered over to meet them at Dock, and we went to the secluded Sugar Beach nestled between the Gros and Petit Pitons, a UNESCO World Heritage Site & the Symbol of St Lucia! The Beach is home to the exclusive Viceroy Resort and secured heavily but also open the public and where we also ran into fellow residents Deborah, Melody & John. The six of us enjoyed the beach and had a lovely lunch at the resort followed by a water taxi ride back to the dock. Such a nice day in a gorgeous place!!

A bunch of things happening, despite not stepping on terra firm, the last 5 days! We crossed the international date line last night and lost the entire day of January 25th! So Weird! We are now 18 hours ahead of my friends and family on the east coast of USA.
I write this post with a heavy heart, tragedy has struck our happy Community. One of our much loved, founding residents had a heart attack and sadly didn't recover, as we sailed to Moorea.
I threw together an impromptu Bachelorette party for Angie tonight! Angie and Gian are getting married for a third time in Hawaii next week.They will be alone this time and it turns out she never had a Shower or Bachelorette to celebrate her first 2 marriages on the Ship, last May! Our girl deserved a fun night to celebrate her! So we took over a section the outdoor seating at Les 3 Brassuers, and their great band had us all up dancing! It's amazing what you can do with a bunch of WhatsApp messages to fellow ladies, some tulle, sparkles and always handy flower lei's ! One of the ladies even went and bought her some lingerie! I love our supportive community!
