Lunch at the Mad Dog

Susan's sister and her husband Doug with me on the porch of the Mad Dog---the perfect little Caribbean shack with four items on the menu, but lots of beer choices.

This was our last full-week trip for the season. From now through the summer there will only be time for a few quick trips to check on the progress of our construction.

No Wind

Sometimes the trade winds do stop blowing.

The new lower deck takes shape

The lower deck has been replaced with a reinforced concrete structure.




The stone is local. A very warm colored granite.

Polly & Ed on the dock

Polly and Ed Trott visited in March and quickly adapted to island living. More into walking than most guests so far, the four of us hiked to the top of the island at 1,350 feet (from a road at the 800 foot level) and also to the top of a hill at Biras Creek. That one was about 400 feet, but we started 0ur walk at sea level. Polly and Ed scored very high on our proprietary house guest grading system.

Giving orders to someone

Looks like I must be talking to the galley slaves below decks.
