11am Back to room. Shower + pack + checkout

12pm Taxi to airport. Slow check-in line. Re-read St. Barts

2pm Flight is delayed (supposed to be 2:20). Review recent writing.

3pm Jerry + Wayne show up and they go to get rum drinks for us. We board flight to Phillipsburg. Read Liat Airways Magazine, about the different islands and political affiliations + currents. See Marina Cay again from my seat. Get taxi after collecting luggage. Twenty minute ride to Voyageur Boat which leaves dock in Marigot. Eat swordfish pocket + chicken pocket sandwiches with straw-banana.

6:20 Boat leaves Marigot and heads west to pass between St Marten and Anguilla, and then east + south toward St. Barts. Rough sea, and boat is tossing + turning. Most of the patrons look like locals are the boat carries packages as well. At one point I walk to the open back part of boat with some difficulty, but seeing the rough sea passing by scares me so I go back inside.

Also I see a copy of St. Barth Weekly at front of boat, so I struggle up to front to get two copies of that. It says its an English summary of top stories of our French newspaper "Le Journal de St. Barth". Printed weekly on Fridays.
