    "Dare to Dream" moved from PSC Marina up to Carlisle Bay where she is currently at anchor in the turquoise waters off The Grand Barbados and Hilton Hotels.

    Not sure if I said anything about this but The Bridgetown Port is looking to expand significantly outside of its existing footprint. The new development is called the SugarPoint Cruise facility and work is slated to be started next month. The first phase of the project will cost some 300,000,000 dollars for Dredging, reclaiming land and constructing the first 2 piers. If this is done, that area will look really nice.

    When you said significantly outside of its footprint you were not kidding. When I read $300M I thought that is a lot of money for some new piers.

    Quite an ambitious project, good luck!

    Yep it is VERY ambitious but Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited is supposed to be helping out with the project. Obviously that would be to their interests. You are right about the new reclaimed land, will be alot and this is a very significant project for us. Hopefully it gets underway next month as 'they say'.

    I'm disappointed, I got there a min too late, the traffic held me up! :( So I didn't get the shots I wanted at all and it is such a gorgeous morning for photography. Sorry guys/gals.

    Well she came at 09:10 this morning...so most of the traffic was off the road by then. When "Tatoosh" came that was for 8pm right in the last half hour of morning rush traffic. I would LOVE it if "Lady S" were to be berthing at the marina because she can fit in there but I have a feeling she will go to the port. I'll know a little more as the next week comes.

    "Lady S" came this morning apparently. I was not aware of this. I thought she was coming Tuesday. So unfortunately no arrival pics for you guys/gals. Can't do anything about that...when I was given one time and the yacht turns up another.
