What To Give The SAILOR Who Has EVERYTHING | SailAway 281
SailAway World Sailing celebrates another milestone as they ring in their birthday while sailing through the beautiful waters surrounding St. Martin.
French Breakfast on the French Side
No ordinary birthday celebration, this! The hosts kick off their special day with a quintessential St. Martin experience – savoring French breakfast on the French side at Sha Fernand. Croissants, pains au chocolat, and lattes are just the beginning of an indulgent meal.
A Cultural Day Out at Hule’s Pub
Adding a unique twist to their day, the couple decides to visit Hule’s Pub to witness an exhilarating Euro Cup semi-finals match between the Netherlands and Turkey. This isn’t just any soccer game; it represents the local spirit and culture they’ve been wanting to immerse themselves in since arriving in St. Martin.
River’s Soccer Buddies
Across the street from Hule’s Pub, young soccer fans recognize River and engage him in playful banter. This serendipitous moment leads to a heartwarming scene where he plays with local kids while his parents enjoy watching the match.
Protecting Their Home from Wasps
To safeguard their home against any unwanted intruders – wasps, to be specific – the couple plans a DIY crochet project. Using patterns found online for a hornet’s nest, they hope to deter any further visits from these stinging critters.
The Significance of Summer Camp
Highlighting the importance of summer camp in their son’s life, the hosts discuss how much he has grown from his daily experiences. River, missing home yet thriving at camp, inadvertently shows how much he loves it while trying to impress his parents with his new found independence.
A Thought-Provoking Ending
As their birthday in St. Martin draws to a close, SailAway World Sailing reflects on the unique blend of adventure and everyday life that defines their sailing journey. Whether it’s celebrating with French cuisine, participating in local culture, or ensuring their home remains free from wasps, they truly embrace each experience.
Don’t miss out on this delightful episode as SailAway World Sailing takes us along on another unforgettable day filled with joy, laughter, and a little bit of local charm!
NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO, your BIRTHDAY will always FIND YOU! And if it finds you in ST. MARTIN, well, that's probably gift enough, right?! And being temporary residents here for a little while means we've scoped out some VERY cool local spots, especially if, for you...FOOTBALL IS LIFE! Enjoy!! And be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT EVERY SUNDAY! Cheers!!
