St. Maarten

Slept until 0945. Free breakfast at "The Boathouse." Split the cost of a rental car with Jim - took it on a tour of the place. This island is split by French and Dutch control. When we got off the Ship yesterday, we were on the Dutch side. It was very clear that people there were poor. However, we went over to the French side and things were very affluent there! Discovered the little town of Marigot - lots of shopping. Went back to Ship for a little bit - to change and check on my job. Went to swim (at Galion Beach) around 1600. Dinner in Marigot and then back to Admin (2200) for the rest of the night. Bed at 0100 (Admin again).
