As Christmas rapidly approaches, you can almost feel the anticipation in the air on our tiny island.  Everyone is busy, bustling about adding the final touches to their master plans in preparation  for our peak tourist season and busiest time of year.  December 15th heralds the official start of 'High Season',  it seems strange that a date can raise the flag on industry but it really does, every year we seem to go from nought to ninety overnight.  Suddenly the restaurants are full, the roads are busy, the supermarket manic and there is an energy wherever you go.  Happily, out on the ocean we can get away from all of the hustle and bustle and have a perfect reminder of what a balmy, breezy Caribbean day should really be like and better still, because it is 'High Season' we get to sail everyday, sometimes twice!  

Sunsets can be quite spectacular in Barbados and much is made of them. From the ubiquitous sundowner, to the last swim of the day to settling  in, opposite the horizon, to watch for that ever elusive 'Green Flash'.  The green flash is actually an optical phenomena that can occur either right before or right after sunset. They occur because the atmosphere causes the light from the sun to separate out into different colours, the green appearance usually only lasts for a second or two at the most - blink and it's gone.    Some say it is lucky, some say it's simply a matter of 'rum vision' but however you want to think of it, it's still a little bit of magic at the end of day, best viewed, of course, by boat.   Our sunset cruises are the perfect way to view it... A glass of something lovely, some light canapés, a calm ocean and a perfect sunset.  Barbados at its' finest.
