Estate Lindholm

After going up and down the beach in the delicious water a couple of times, the sun was getting low and it was time for me to go. I grabbed my towel, shorts, and flip flops off of the beach and began to head back to the parking lot.
But I took 4 steps and stopped- Put everything down - and went back to get this picture. The image, with the Denis Bay windmill, the shimmering aqua water, Jost van D**e in the background…was it real?

Hallelujah‼️🎉 St. John’s beauty is real! This is Hawksnest Beach. What a renewing swim this eve, though the water felt a degree or so cooler than last week. Winter is coming!

The island has been bone dry, without rain for months, to the point that I can feel the pain of the plants. We don’t usually wish for storms as peak hurricane season (mid-Sept) approaches, but we are so desperate for rain, we’ll take some foul weather with it! No matter the dry conditions, the red hibiscus and red ginger continue to give flower blessings.

Tim, Marcellus, Leo, and Alex are helping our contractor to load and install the new wood trim that will secure the functional and attractive new windows, on every building. This will better secure us for hurricanes, and also will allow for more natural air flow, for those who dislike AC.

The descendants of my mother‘s beloved lilies,
are still gifting us with frequent, beautiful (even in dry season), large flowers, that add a bewitching perfume to the air. You can find them outside of the Plantation Cottage (my parents’ first home) and along the walkway down to Sarah‘s (their second home). It’s a magical scene to experience, especially in the evening. It transports me to my youth.

The cutest and most gracious hotel manager, Ever! Ms. Savanna, with some unidentified island renegade - about 25 years ago, on Lovango Cay. 😉😎

It’s always an honor to be on this list, but especially satisfying to top the list of the world’s best beaches‼️😎🎉 It is good to personally know how gorgeous it really is! 🏝️☀️
This article and picture of Trunk Bay - rated as the World’s Best Beach - was supposed to be attached. Sorry. But we all know and love it, anyway!

 made for him, though he had to share with the rest of the crew.
