The FYI team is taking a break for the Labour Day weekend and will return with a newsletter edition on Wednesday, Sept. 5. Late breaking news will, of course, be posted on the website between then and now. For those interested, David Farrell is off to Quebec to visit with JP Guilbert and his wife Lorna, longstanding residents in St. Maarten who have returned home after a hurricane devastated the island and blew their dockside restaurant to kingdom come.

Wishing all of our readers happy trails and the best of health, David Farrell
