. . . to leave SBH for a return to FL. A final, late night swim . . . admiring the moon, with Venus shining nearby. Champagne tonight with local friends wishing me a safe & speedy return . . . and a quiet, delicious dinner of shrimp, brown rice, and green beans. My nearly two month rest in St. Barths has been wonderful — such a harsh & cruel time for so many in other parts of the world, I have felt blessed to be in the relatively safe SBH environment, with many long time friends. It also was a very productive period, maintenance & improvements at the Villa for the new season. Yes! There will be one!
