Deshaies Botanical Gardens

We spent and absolutely wonderful day at the botanical gardens in Deshaies. It's about a mile out of town to the south and once a privatr residence of a comedian it is now a lovely garden with lots to enjoy besides just flowers and trees.

Feeding the fish
The parakeets

Liz asking if they are hungry?

Yes they are!








Well it's almost Christmas


The restaurant


The river running through the garden


A 2" tall wild humming bird

Orchids


The panoramic view from the snack bar

Goats too
Well after visting the gaardens we returned to Moosetracks to relax in our cockpit. We suddenly were lurched a side by the impact of a small fishing boat. After dropping the dinghy to inspect the damage it was a huge relief that they only left paint marks on our stern quarter. So as an apology the fisherman offered us the 3lb fish so we accepted and grilled it for dinner. A strange way to get fresh fish?

About 3lb looks smaller in a 3 gallon bucket
We sincerly hope everyone is well and loving life as we do.
