Life at Le Phare Bleu

Edi, Justin and I quickly made friends with the marina/resort staff, as well as the other yachties resident at the marina. We relaxed and swam during the day and played cards in the bar at night with Angela and Steve, another couple resident at the marina on their boat. Edi and Justin became friends with the young guys that worked behind the bar, and even had a couple of nights out on the town with them. The resorts chef Max, overheard us one night talking about how much we all loved curry, something that was not on the menu. He said he would be happy to make it for us, and from that day forward we had curry on demand, and Max made a really good curry. In fact Max would make anything we wanted as long as the kitchen had the ingredients. One evening Angela and Steve introduced Edi and I to the game of 'Mexican Train'. a game of dominoes, which we both quickly became hooked on. Following our introduction to the game we got together almost every night to play. Over time many of the other yachties joined in, as it's a game that almost any number can play. Those nights drinking the local beer, eating Max's curry and playing Mexican train are among some of my very favorite Caribbean memories.
On June 15th I returned to the States for a couple of weeks. Angela and Steve very kindly offered to take care of Nicho-San for me while I was away, so he wouldn't have to undergo the stress of traveling.
