Disappearance of Jimmy Buffett It is with deep sadness that we learn of the death of music icon Jimmy Buffett, this Friday, September 1 at the age of 76. The news of his passing left a wave of grief and nostalgia in the hearts of his many fans around the world. Part of the beautiful story of Jimmy Buffett is inseparable from that of St Barthélemy, and it begins when he discovered the coasts of the island for the first time. One of those magical moments, where he instantly fell in love with St Barths, a small island that would become his second home. It was here that he had a vision of a distant day, when he would rest in peace, seeing the small cemetery of Public from his sailboat. Jimmy Buffett's relationship with St Barths wasn't limited to his love for the island. He was closely associated with the management of the famous establishment “Autour du Rocher”, an essential place where celebrities met with ease to share moments of conviviality. He composed the eponymous song there, in collaboration with local musicians, imbuing himself a little more with the island character, with this relaxation which characterized him and which will never leave him. But Jimmy Buffett's imprint was not restricted to just one place. Le Sélect, another emblematic venue, also had the honor of hosting him on numerous occasions. He performed in front of an enthusiastic audience, performing songs that have become classics, including the legendary “Cheeseburger in Paradise”. A song inspired by a Caribbean experience, which echoes the soul of Sélect and which resonated particularly well with the carefree spirit of the multi-talented artist. Jimmy Buffett was also the godfather of Les Voiles de St Barth, a renowned nautical event. His passion for sailing and his commitment to St Barthélemy were evident, further strengthening his ties to the island he cherished so much. He recharged his batteries there by maintaining authentic relationships with its inhabitants, never failing to promote it and come to the aid of its population, as was the case after Hurricane Irma. With the passing of Jimmy Buffett, St Barths loses a precious friend, a talented musician, and a lover of the island. His music will continue to vibrate in our hearts, recalling the moments of happiness and relaxation he gave us over the years. His memories will remain engraved in the history of this island, thus marking an era. We express our deep admiration to him and extend our condolences to his family and loved ones. Farewell, Jimmy, we will miss you!

Yesterday at about 15h30 a C-130 Hercules (or also called an A-400) which is a four engined turboprop cargo airplane tried to land at St Barts! It flew parallel to the island (right in front of us) and turned to take the descent to the airport. the runway at St Barts is 644m and the C-130 needs about 800 meters. Not surprisingly it re-appeared a few minutes later on route for St Martin. By this time I had my camera out and took this shot as it seemed smoke was coming out of all four engines. Just after I took the image it turned away from St Martin and disappeared.

We have just had solar panels installed at the villa. You can hardly see them and the installation was extremely well done.They finished last week.

Today at 10.14 the electricity was suddenly turned off on the whole island due to a fire at the electricity generating plant! The first time in 30 years since I've been coming to St Barts that that's happened. We are now on battery power. I think that's great timing!!!

VILLA RATES
We have to now install solar panels to augment the supply of electricity and cover the large price increase by the EDF. In addition, in the last year two years, we have made several important improvements to the villa. New position for the spa, new kitchen, new outside furniture, etc. so as much as we would like to keep the rates low we have to increase them by about 5%. We still believe that the Villa Henson is one of the best value rentals on the Island considering its unique views, and its situation, and is one of the most tranquil villas.
