Sunday 0620 Bonjour from St. Barts! Take Aspen…remove the snow…add sand.. flavor with Caribbean hot spice and voala. What a treat… to take a peek… at this town that is oh so chic! Last night we enjoyed local eggplant, mangos, tomatoes and breadfruit whilst Lord Byron proclaimed the sunset
to be the most brilliant of his life. The vibe on Audax remains strong and Happy Sunday to all! Go out and have a ball! Spring is now here and we shall soon dare…to grin and bare and pray our sails do not tear. We continue to get in that zone to make it home…Safely, Soundly, Securely…we kindly ask for your prayers.
Saturday – 1057 Emotions come and emotions go. An island appears and then it disappears. A last minute course change has us under sail and moving due north under moderate seas and breeze.
Leaving Basseterre, St. Kitts and heading for Gustavia, St. Barts…Jimmy Buffet here we come!! Yet more wonderful island exploration over the past couple of days. From the green monkey sighting that thankfully was not biting to the Parrot Fish dish that oh how
we so wish had been caught on our own line (it still tasted mighty fine.) Nevis and St. Kitts…we saw
many little bits. Enjoying true local flavor - tea plantations on Nevis…sidewalk vendors on St. Kitts. The normal runs, tennis, interactions with locals, tropical rain forest vistas and further provisioning for J-Day (32 cans of spaghettios, 30 cans tuna, 20 cans of vegtables.) We strive to be ourselves, realizing that happiness is a state of mind and every action from day 1 of life has led up to this moment…its called NOW
Chewing on sugarcane, do you think that is insane!, a BANANA TREE!, provision vision, Nevis photo album, St. Kitts Photo album, St. Barts photo album and 3 new island reports - Dominica, Guadalupe, Nevis-St. Kitts

Jordi and John, Wow! This is quite the website. I am envious of all I’ve discovered here. I loved seeing all the pictures of the visit that Rosie and Matt had to the Audax last month. Hopefully we all catch up in Maine this summer and best wishes for a safe and fulfilling return trip! Warmly, Liza
