I got up early and watched as the captain and crew anchored us off Dibani Rock. We were in a pretty bay off the island of St Vincent. After Storytime, Karen and I decided to take one of the tours. The Yankee Clipper anchored near Dibani Rock
Captain Kent filling us in at StoryTime
The taxis took us through Kingstown and then up to the old fort.

Like most of the islands, the British and French fought over ownership for centuries. This fort was the focus of several battles.

We finished the tour with an excursion to the National Botanical Gardens. Mr. Daniel was our very informative guide, he had grown up on the grounds.

Mr. Daniel gave us a tour that was entertaining and educational.

I didn't take any notes, so I have no idea what all these plants are.

Pirates, Prostitutes, and Politicians / Black Tie, lingerie, toga is a costume party. The concept pieces are the most fun. Since today is the captain's birthday, we might see more than a little excitement.

Below you see the building on a BLT sandwich. Bread, lettuce, bacon, tomato, mayonaise and bread.

Hoist the Jolly Roger

Johnnie led the mutiny. They carried the captain over to the table and threatened to toss him overboard.

But good sense prevailed; the captain knew the best drinking spots on all the islands, so we spared him.

Then we danced the night away.

Take me to Day Three of the cruise.
