Back to St. Martin in February. Boy, are we lucky.
The view from Sapphire is still gorgeous. I can watch the sun set into the Caribbean every single night.
Some of the clearest days ever, we saw Saba most days, and St. Barts and St. Eustasis, which aren't often visible.
Sapphire used to be the largest building around Cupecoy. Now it is dwarfed by new condos. Farther west, they have built a small "city" on the lagoon side. It seemed quiet, but we were told almost all the units have been sold. Unlikely the buyers would be Americans, but the Europeans, and especially the Canadians, still seem to be spending lots of money.
We sure didn't miss much back home. When we left, the forecast was for one inch of snow over the next few days. Instead, the skies opened, and a total of 53" fell in two huge snowfalls. The car was parked outside at the airport, but we managed to shovel it out in less than 10 minutes, which could surely have been much worse.
Our fabulous neighbor Fred borrowed the snow blower, then proceeded to open both our driveway and the walk to the door.
We had massive icicles hanging from the roof, some at least 3 meters long, but managed to knock them down without serious damage to the house or windows or deck.
Eventually nature took its course, and Spring arrived.
