After a very busy Christmas and New Years Vix and I are having a bit of a holiday and have returned to Whistler for a couple of weeks in the snow.

Unfortunately there is not a lot of fresh snow in the forecast right now, but we are taking the chance to improve our skiing and are hoping there will be some before we leave.

Since New Years we have been cruising the Leeward Islands (St Maarten, St Barts, Anguilla) and will probably head to Antigua (see right) in the next day or two. We only have a few more days of this trip left now before we head north again to Ft Lauderdale and a little time in the shipyard.

I may have posted something similar to this video before but I think it’s worth another look.

This is a little video clip I found quite amusing.

Happy New Year. Vix and I are (working unfortunately!) in St Barts in the French West Indies for the start of 2007.

St Barts is a hugely popular destination for yachts especially at New Years when everyone who is anyone (or thinks they are) wants to be seen partying with the rich and famous on this tiny island.

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Years and we are planning to catch up with lots more friends and family in the year to come.
