Well, its a dull and overcast start to the day here today, a rare event really and it is nice to be able to put on a long sleeve shirt and long pants, not thinking you are going to roast. This is one thing here that we really do not have, and that is the seasons, as it is perpetual summer here. We are so lucky.
We manage to keep in contact with the cricket and football via the excellent BBC feed that comes through the cable network and I got
pretty excited to hear the Google and the BBC are in talks to make the BBC feed available on the internet. That REALLY would be great as the programmes from the BBC are so good - you can tell I am a Brit abroad! Indeed, some days, I have to pinch myself that we really are in the Caribbean, as the beauty, the sun, the sea and the colours are truly outstanding.
I clicked onto the photo page in my site, where Mathew has allowed me
to publish his fantastic underwater pictures - (click on the fish here) gosh they are really good and just off the beach here too!.... This is one of the major draws of this island for visitor and residents alike, where we exist in a bubble of safety and beauty.
A chum of mine, who lives in the states, had not visited his holiday condo for a few months and had travelled in Europe and the south of the USA for a change, with a view to buying another holiday property. Returning back here convinced him that his original investment was a great idea and has now decided not to look elsewhere...and to invest futher here.
Some readers may wonder if moving
overseas for a lifestyle change is really something that they can do - well , it can be done and it really is not that difficult now. The internet of course enables us to keep in instant contact with our families, and in real terms, "home" is only a plane ride away. Thanks goodness for SKYPE - we often wonder how long it will be before these calls are not free. Mind you, the CEO of SKYPE was on the radio last year saying that in 5 years all phone calls via computer would be free - that would be great.
The island is relatively quiet at the moment, and there is the annual fishing tournament kicking off next week. This is great fun as we get to see fabulous deep sea fishing boats in Turtle Cove Marina, and later in the afternoon, around 4pm (ish) we go round and watch the weigh-in... super stuff. Check out these two apartments that overlook the cove, as these units have premier positon for the onlooker. Here is the tournament link.
Turtle Cove is really the early heart of the Island, where the first hotel was located, its now gone, and a new whizzo development is scheduled to go there at some time, and the Cove has many restaurants to choose from. We have lovely super yachts come and go, which is a pleasure to watch, expecially the larger ones as the Captains skillfully navigate the entrance.. no mean task.
For more information on properties that are available, don't forget the homepage and navigate around the site. If there is a picture, it will probably enlarge when clicked on.. or they could be a link there as well. Try out this page.. this is a fun new page which leads to various properties quickly... its the local marketing style used in the TCREA magazine - just come out this week.
