We had been trying since Antigua to find a groomer for Jackie, who was now long past the normal six week period between her haircuts. There were not many groomers on any of the islands and when we found one their schedules were booked weeks in advanced. I had talked with a young bilingual French lady in Gustavia with a well groomed dog who gave me her groomers telephone number. Unfortunately the groomer was French, and like me, not bilingual. Later that week on St. Barth Jackie and I returning from a hike ran into another young French lady on Colombier Beach with well groomed dog. This young, bare breasted bilingual lady used the same French groomer who I had been unable to communicate with on the telephone in my efforts to make an appointment.
In our internet search we had found a mobile veterinarian on Anguilla and asked if she knew of a groomer. She did and we were able to make reservations. Beth then realized that Jackie was due a couple of shots before we would be getting back to California. We called the veterinarian back and she agreed to provide the shots and drive us to the groomers. Jackie got her shots on the beach and a reasonable trim at the groomers.
That evening we had dinner at the Barrel Stay Restaurant on the beach at Road Bay. We had one of the best dinners on our trip. I had a local crawfish and we shared an outstanding apple and ice cream dish for desert. While waiting for dinner we watched another beautiful sunset.
