Agreed, Neil, great website.
I especially enjoyed the maxim on your tee shirts, to wit:
"You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning"
Reminds me of The Wine Drinker's Credo--
"Enough is enough... and too much is just right"!  | |

Come on Loren, you got the quotation WRONG
it is: :'You can't drink all day if you don't start in D morning'
ahahha....Neil would get you for that. You see how much he emphasizes the 'D' all over the website and not to mention his signature?
'Another hum day on D island!'

LOL, Loren, you have me here cracking up! Here in the islands there are varying types of dialects which are all unique to each island however i think most people from here in the Caribbean Islands when they are talking broken language they would replace 'THE' with 'D'. Neil is from St. Maarten so he would be a little different... I'm from Barbados....we would say 'de' instead of 'the" off course when talking dialect.

Yachtluver, I really do appreciate the diversity of language--especially the variations in English found in my 'backyard', the Bahamas.
A long time ago, before GPS, the practical way to navigate the settlements of, say, the Abacos (in small shoal-draft boats), with which I am familiar, was to emulate the locals:
Pull in close, spot somebody on the beach, and holler loudly, "What place 'dis be"?! | |
