Merry Christmas to all.
Had fun here. pretty quiet. didnt open the shop. home with the family. had a few visitors and went over to Josh and Joannes for dinner. Bonfire on the beach etc. Noah had fun- far too many presents.
Busy this week which is good. Adian and Catherine visiting for some windsurfing, should have a good week.
Well, season is starting to pickup. had a few busy days with everything windsurfing, kiting and the boats. for those of you who have come and visited us before - do you remember the young lad who used to buzz around you, planing on a 100 ltr board and 2.6, while you were struggling on a 6.5 and 140- well Mikey, if you recognise him is now working at the shop and teaching beginners.
Just got a bunch of new switchblade 3 kites in for those kiters out there. great to teach and fly.
still waiting on some Stand up Paddle boards from Naish - they will be great on the light wind days - we can finally get out in the waves and surf instead of sitting on the beach.
Windsurf wise getting more Hot Sails Maui next week and some larger sails monofilm sails after Christmas.
Junior is freezing his ass off in NY city. news said there was a big NW er coming in next week so he will probably be back very soon.
Other news from the island:
we now have two new parasail boats on the island.
cobbled streets are all the way down to Royal Palms, just starting on the last section to Victoria house.
Saw the Croc by the wasa pond last week and it is huge - 14 ft and fat - must be all the chicken it is being fed.
Canibels has closed and been knocked down - a new Lounge… whatever that is going to be is supposed to open up soon.
the Two tall palms on the Holiday beach had to be cut down last week as they had the lethal yellowing disease, real shame as I think they were the tallest trees on the island.
Chocolate project is coming along - hoping to get some product out before Christmas. 70% Dark and Milk chocolate, bars and shapes handmade from organic fairtrade beans grown here in Belize.
