Basseterre, St. Kitts

Today we are docked in Basseterre, St. Kits.  Along side our ship is the Silver Whisper.  We docked here around 9:30am and we are staying until 11pm.  Not that there is that much to do here, just so close to the next port.

Had breakfast on the aft deck and then back to the suite to work on cross stitch until our breakfast settled.  Then we headed to the pool.  While doing our exercises, June (met her at needlepoint) and her husband came into the pool.  I spoke with the husband.  They live in New Hampshire and he is a retired professor from UNH.  But before Katie's time there.  By the time Katie was a student, he had retired.  They have been married 69 years.  We did our exercises for 45 minutes and then the hot tub.  We stayed up on deck for a bit and spoke with Barbara from Long Boat Cay about the football games yesterday.  She has a second home in St. Louis so was wondering about Missouri's score.  He husband is in a motorize scooter.  His name is Chris and we spoke with him as we were leaving the deck.

Today the weather is why you come to the islands.  Warm and sunny.  A perfect day.  We plan to walk in town this afternoon but might change our minds as it is Sunday and most of the stores are closed.

So we had lunch on the aft deck and then our nap.  I decided to sit on the balcony for a bit but did go inside to take a decent nap.  Then we dressed and headed out.  We walked about the town.  Not much open but then again, we were not shopping.  Back on board we did sit out on our balcony for a bit.

We had out cocktails in the Club and then dinner on the aft deck.  Tonight was Tuscan Market.  The aft deck was quite windy.  My white wine glass was blown over due to Bob's place mat and so I got covered in white wine.  Thanks goodness it was not red.  Dinner was okay.  The mussels were probably the best part of the dinner except for the wine.

Back in the suite where we learned the Jackssonville won.  What is up with that?  Now looking for a late football game but if not, read and lights out.
