Our own little snorkling beach, Swedish sushi


Lars and Hilderud from "Ramnoe" and we rent a little red car to see St.Barts. That takes only a couple hours, so we pack snorkeling gear in the trunk. When we get to the lovely little sand/shell beach, Petite Anse, we have it to ourselves. Two snorkel expeditions with a baguette-and-cheese picnic in between. The fish are fabulous. A big bright blue, purple-edged one is my favorite.
The roads are unbelievably steep, concrete, sharp edged, just enough breadth for two tiny rental cars. When the big cement trunk roars up it's nice to be on the inside track. The precipice with the ocean view can wait.

Come evening another Swedish boat-friend, Sven from "Alma", brings over his catch of Kingfish which he has made "gravfish" out of. Raw fish treated in such a way as to make it edible. And it is! We all gather at "Babette" for the feast, the two Swedish boats and us. Boiled potatoes, flatbread and butter, a salad, wine. Later coffee and cake. We all contribute something to Sven’s fabulous fish feast.
