wind and rain

I am still having problems posting with my bberry, no internet and no bberry it really is bad. Below is my post from yesterday.

As expected today is even worse than yesterday so I am glad we did the touring 
part yesterday and left the errands for today (propane, supermarket). We've 
pretty much given up on the electrician, they are all very busy this week.
We went all around the island, to Holland and back to France in a few hours.  
Our Dutch friends, Christ and Elise, prefer the French side and I can see why. 
The Dutch side is busier, there is more traffic, the big cruise ships stop there 
so the main street is very much like St Thomas or Nassau. It's also full of 
Burger Kings, KFCs, Domino's and big stores like a Mega ACE which we duly 
visited.  The views are spectacular but it was very windy and the beaches did 
not look inviting. So we went back around to the French side where they were 
much more protected. Also Anguila is right in front so I guess that helps to 
calm the seas down. 
Since we had had lunch on one of the beaches where we think we may go and 
anchor, on the way back we stopped at our boulangerie and grabbed a couple of 
baguettes so that we could have a "light" dinner with just cheese, pate and wine 
(and an eclair we had left over from the day before, this is going to kill me!).
