The Travels of Running Tide

Today we did a bit of exploring around town. We went to town to see Sam Smith square and went up to the Hip Strip were it all happens, we are told.  We had to visit Margaritaville the shrine to Jimmy Buffet. The experience was underwhelming but we did get to gaze over the Caribbean from the terrace. whilst the melodic tones of Jimmy Buffet drowned out Norm moaning about how much he had paid for the beer.
 
We rapidly moved on and met this north London Jamaican geezer called Winston of course. He was fun and was with this little old lady who was selling fruit so we bought a few bananas.
 
After that we headed off to the MegaMart to do our shopping for Cuba.
 
The weather looks OK so we may head off tomorrow morning, we have arranged C&I clearance so all should be in order. If we do set sail for Cuba this could be the last blog for a while unless of course we pull into the Cayman Isles.
