There is an obituary for
Barclay (Tim)Warburton in today’s www.thenewportbuzz.com. Condolences to his family.

Thank you for sharing your underwater explorations and taking us to another world, Jim. Sensational photographs and video.

RIP Peter O’Keefe. He had a perspective on St. Barth like no one else. Witty, intelligent and didn’t “suffer fools gladly”. He certainly left his mark on the island.

It seems fitting around this holiday season to post about a wonderful, inspiring book. Perseverance, courage, faith, hope and the indomitable strength of the human spirit—-all captured in this...

If you have read "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathanial Hawthorne, you will find this suspenseful tale to your liking. Set in Boston during the days of the witch trials, it puts the reader into the mind...

I have learned about so many little-known episodes of World War II through the authors who have researched these stories and brought them to life. This book is about the group of schoolchildren and...

I agree with your assessment, Amy---a well-done and creatively crafted tale. Psychological suspense at its best. The outcome is unpredictable so the twists and turns keep the reader engaged.

The author of “Orphan Train” does it again—-a well-researched book based on actual events. The story revolves around the experiences of women convicts sent from Britain to Australia to serve their...

Very different from "The Midnight Library" but, in its own way, a compelling story. A little known chapter in WWII history is woven into an excellent read. It links Paris and, of all places, Montana!...

Much happiness to Dora. She defined good hospitality. Made every diner at Maya’s feel special.

Those annual January 30th Birthday celebrations at Le Select for three wonderful people were delightful! And Marius seemed to enjoy them the most Belated good wishes to Didier, Sue and Lloyd! Hope...

Merry Christmas and a Covid-free New Year, Jim and Dan!

If you have ever wondered what your life might have been like if you had made different choices, this little gem is the book for you. It certainly is a page-turner and makes you think----perhaps even...

Happy Birthday, Youngster!

WWII again—I cannot resist!
This excellent novel is based on the true story of Nancy Wade, a young Australian woman, who became a most wanted spy. The Gestapo named her The White Mouse because she...

Lisa Wingate does it again. The author of “Before We Were Yours” is a wonderful storyteller. In this book, she weaves a tale, set after the Civil War, rooted in the desire of slaves to be reunited...

Happy Birthday, Dennis!

Hope you had a fun Birthday, John. Belated wishes for much happiness in the coming year!

His books are also so well-researched. I agree, Amy---this is a good one.

A terrific guy! RIP Larry. Our deepest sympathy to Sue and his family.

Joyeux Anniversaire, Rosita!

I've known Maïlys since she was a little girl. So proud of her for training with SNSM and participating in the rescue! Well-done.

This book by Christopher Rosow is the first in the Ben Porter series and a fine start. Without giving away too much, I can say the descriptions of sailing were obviously written by someone who has...

Great photos, Diana. What a feast for little Lilou! Congratulations to her family.

Thank you for being the Zoom host extraordinaire, John. It was great to see everyone---especially to see Rosemond looking terrific.

Thanks, John---What fun! Sorry to have missed the last one. Count me in. You have my email.

That link to The Civilized Explorer brought back a flood of memories. Thanks for the reminder, Brian. I recall when Phil said he could no longer cover St. Barth. It was akin to losing a friend! Then,...

Kara and Bob Brooks had the Still River Cafe. And many forum members attended dinners there. I was sorting through some memorabilia and found the Menu from the Dinner with Franck Mathevet on August...

RIP, Marius.
Had the pleasure of speaking to Marius a few times but I cannot say I knew him as well as others. To him, it seemed, no one was a stranger. He had a way of seeing "into" people, of...

Nick the Dog

I cannot think of anyone better to be the keeper of the Gate 10 sign than you, Kevin! And your description of the Juliana Airport matched my memories perfectly except for one small detail. Before we...

A great find, Ed. A real trip down memory lane since we were already visiting St. Barth then. Remy de Haenen looks just as I remember him. He was charismatic. When you view the island as it looked...

A unexpected and wonderful evening, Kevin. Thanks for sharing it. Sometimes the best encounters just happen——if one is open to the possibilities...

I second your endorsement, Amy. Have liked his other books and this one is a winner. Dugoni manages to include enough twists and questions into the plot to keep the reader engaged.

Add us to the list for a copy. Your photos and books are just great, Ed.
