We stayed anchored in Mayreau for 2 nights while the winds gusted. We went ashore and walked along the beach long enough for Phil to make one of his world famous sailboats. He makes a small sailboat out of the scraps he finds along the beach and then sets it free. This one was the best ever. He had yellow fan coral as the sail, a coconut shell for the hull, flat stones for the keel and rudder, and finally an urchin shell for the cabin. He wanted to launch it right there but my camera was back at the boat. After awhile he gave in and decided to send it on its way from Souverain so I could get a picture of it. Jumping back into the dingy his foot came down crashing on top of it. He was not a happy camper- or sailor. Back at the boat he repaired it, but half of it was gone and it never was restored to its former glory, however he did launch it and it sailed away. Philip, Ford and Clay, you would have loved this one!
Phil, All these years I’ve known you and I didn’t know you were an artist. Sounds like your having a great time, hope to hear your stories when you return. Dennis
