swimming in the Caribbean Sea on my 1st day!
Netherlands Antilles or France depending on what side of the island you are on. I flew into the Dutch side and stayed with a Kiwi (New Zealand) on a sailboat moored on the French side of the lagoon. (The Frenchies let you anchor for free so that half of the lagoon is packed with Brits, Aussies, all kinds of English speaking cruziers, aka people who live on boats and travel the world.) On mainland, the french grocery stores are a beautiful deja vous of my time in Paris. You can buy chocolate waffles and Camembert cheese!

I met some new friends on couchsurfing (couch potato as they call it) and they took me sailing in the Atlantic Ocean. My first time ocean sailing was exhilarating. We sailed directly into the steady NNE wind about 4 miles off shore to the gulfstream. The water turned deeper shades of blue the farther out we got. The crew was 5 experienced sailors so all I had to do was try not to lose my breakfast... unsuccessfully. Back at the dock we shared snacks and laughs. I'd like to try it again, with Dramamine ;)
