August Monday is a yearly beach party that takes place in Road Bay, Anguilla. Had heard it would be a major fiesta but we were not prepared for such hotness all over the place. Just like for a carnival, people had gone all in with their attire and it was a true delight to see so many awesome, cool, colorful characters on one and the same beach. It was like getting photographic orgasms one after another, walking around that beach snapping shots of beautiful happy party animals. Everyone looked like they were taken right from a fresh r'n'b video and no single one were too shy to have their photos taken. People had traveled from every neighboring island with their yachts and wild and dirty is too simple to describe what the day eventually developed into. If there's one party to go in the Caribbean next year, make sure it's this one.

A lot of this was consumed on yesterdays charter to August Monday in Anguilla that we followed along on. Will show you photos from a very colorful, interesting, excentric day a bit later. That party was wild!

Freshly caught snapper seems a good idea for dinner. Caught by a local spear-fisherman at Cupecoy beach. We are in love with this island, seriously, it really does continue to grow on us and we're not at all sad that it is here we are located when in need of delaying our departure. We are combining work, pleasure and spending time with our friends in a very comfortable manner at the moment. Let's just hope no tropical storms or hurricanes will interrupt our stay as we still have some work to do here before we can get moving.

A good swell is building from tropical storm Ernesto that is roaming in the background on this photo, a couple hundred miles South of St Martin. Looks like this weekend could be a good time to get surfing finally. 

Still thinking salads are the best things to prepare for lunch as it is easy to toss together, require minimum amount of time for organization and is light and healthy for your body in this oppressing tropical heat. I had half a grilled chicken left in the fridge from last night, some already boiled potatoes, a can of peas, a few spring onions and some red cabbage and that was the free lunch of today. Are you aware of how much fun things you can concoct only by looking into your own cupboards? 

Salad served with fresh bread and sun dried tomatoes in garlic oil.

Suddenly when we were chilling out in that creek (Little Bay, thanks Matt!) the other day, a bunch of kids came sliding down the mountain with pizzas and cakes in their hands. Apparently they were surprising their mother on her birthday and had brought her out to this beautiful spot in the nature with a picnic. What a lovely gesture from smart little (spiderman) kids. 

Not so well camouflaged on the dusty concrete dock but nonetheless very beautiful with its startling lime green skin.. 

If you for some strange reason managed to miss it, tumblr is where I daily upload some of the best photos from our journey, a few tips on good books, articles and music that I like.. Check it out here.

The rugged landscape on the South Western side of St Martin is absolutely breathtaking. The soft light of a setting sun casting its last rays on the limestone rocks and penetrating through the turquoise water makes for such a perfect color constellation that it almost hurts your eyes. Even more pleasant when a beautiful friendly dog decides to walk along with you and lay at your feet when you sit down in the sand to absorb the last moments of sunlight. Sometimes the elements and energies of the world are working in perfect symbiosis.
