Let your boat of life be light…

OK! So, I am back at Duffy’s Love Shack in Red Hook, St. Thomas having a Carib getting prepared for the Virgin Island Charter League Boat Show next week. They have a telephone pole on the side of their “shack” with lots of postings stapled to it. Here is my latest treasure of a scrap of paper stuck on the pole:

“Let my boat of life be light, packed with only what I need – a homely place to stay and simple pleasures, a few friends worth the name, someone to love and someone to love me, a cigar or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink, for a thirst is a dangerous thing.” – Jerome Klapka Jerome

I don’t know about you, but I really like this one. I will continue to my work as your Caribbean lifestyle detective and see if I can find some more amazing truths stuck on the walls of the bars of St. Thomas. I am now off to Latitude 18 for my next drink. Until next time….
