After an uneventful trip down, we have arrived in St. Lucia. We have been here for nearly two weeks and the weather is showing signs of improving. We arrived with a nearly full moon and locals say that that fact accounts for the very high tides. The crashing huge waves on the Caribean Sea, can be accounted for by the tail end of the large weather system that has just left the eastern shore of the US. The rainfall everyday is because of the same weather system. Sometime this rain is a lovely sun shower and that's all, sometime it is a heavy downpour that lasts for half an hour, one day it poured all day. So we just returned from the office where the locals said they have no idea why this weather is not better. It is usually sunny and hot. They say that in Februaury everything will be back to normal. We will wait and see.
I have my watercolours paints with me this time, and the change to them has been challenging. I miss my oils!!! Anyway here is my first weak attempt. This is the view from our lovely little porch where we have been spending quite a bit of time. The pool beside this pagoda is a nice change and the lounges are very comfortable. We have been relaxing, drinking Piton beer and watching the freighters and cruise ships and sail boats pass by. Tolerating the weather is just something we will have to get used to........until February, then it is going to be beautiful, hot and sunny!
Oh well, back to the lounge and another Piton.
