     Rudy and I received a car on St. Martin by listening to one of those Condo spiels. 
     It was for two days and it wasn't even a Moke (a Moke is a Fred Flintstone Car
     except they throw in the brakes!.... and Rudy did feel like Dino because his head
     kept on hitting the cloth top) We drove to Orient Beach which was beautiful and
     had many activities such as para-sailing, jet skis, wind surfers, small sail boats,
     water skiing, gift shops, many bars and restaurants, some with steel bands and a
     nude beach. (Rudy wouldn't let me!!) It was the largest, prettiest and most
     entertaining beach on the island.
     
     We had to do some repair work on the boat which include Rudy going up to the top
     of the mast two times.  He explained to me that I needed to hold on to a certain line
     or I could kill him....it was tempting!!!  He got down twice safe and sound. He was
     also successful in repairing the instruments at the top. My HERO !!!!
     
     Today Feb. 16th, we will be leaving St. Martin's, Marigot Bay where they made
     the movie Speed 2.  We were anchored just in front of the place where the cruise
     boat crashes into the town.  Just for the movie they created a whole new waterfront
     including stores, hotels, restaurants, etc. where the villagers have their Market every
     day.
     
     Happy Faces....Faith
