Greetings and salutations. It is just inside the new year, and I am just trying to let you all know I am alive and well. Marike and I are well and working ourselves to the bone. Season has just arrived here on our island and the hotel is full. Too bad we were not able to hire the staff we will need to have everything run smoothlyand still have some time off. Oh well, its not a perfect world anywhere. On the bright side the weather is fantastic 80 something almost every day and just enough wind to keep the sailors happy. Some amazing boats in the harbor here and in the water around the island. I am soo close the being a fully certified diver, and let me tell you the water is amazing here. Other than that there are no really newsworthy things for this page now. Marike is well and happy (her contact lenses arrived and she can wear sunglasses again). The dogs are good and happy. Work is work. I just figured how to put pictures on this thing, it is so easy.
Both of the phots are from a few days Marike and I spent in St.Maarten. I am on the Beach in Anse Marcel and the one of M. is from our balcony at the Hotel Marquis also in Anse Marcel. We had an awesome time and would recommend St. Maarten to anyone. Well thats all for now talk to you all again soon. KC
