It’s getting hot – even walking early AM, the sun’s power is apparent. Here’s a real draw back to living in Cabarete for 6 years (and there are not many). At 46 years old, I am looking at my face and skin and realizing that even though I’ve been ‘creaming up’ everyday with high factor [...]
I love the wind; so used to it blowing in the afternoons in Cabarete; it makes the town what it is – a watersport’s heaven but every now and then, we get an afternoon where the wind is completely non-existent and the whole bay takes on a different colour, tone and feel. I don’t know [...]

This afternoon, we take delivery of another big container of furniture, etc. More and more enquiries to deal with each day – it looks like Christmas may already be pretty full! [...]
Euan’s nose is almost back to normal – thanks for all the well-wishes. Today we will go back to the Hospital to remove the gauze and stuff that it inside his nose still, despite his best efforts to sneeze it all out! The surf camp doors are on now and today, the container arrives in [...]
