Happy New Year 2016!
Dieppe Bay is the northern end of the St. Kitts. It has a reef-protected harbour and to it's east is the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent to the inlet of the Caribbean as the Atlantic makes it's way past St. Eustacius Island.
We took a drive today. From my favorite lookout just above Dieppe Bay looking East to Africa (too far to see from here) is the village of Dieppe Bay, On the shoreline you can see a church (w/white shutters) and beyond that the Golden Lemon hotel.
Looking to the west, facing Jamaica (about 1000 miles away) and you can see St. Eustacius (about 10 miles away). There are great crashing waves here as the Atlantic collides with the Caribbean.
I learned today that tourist buses will stop here and take in the view. As is typical on St. Kitts a couple of industrious local ladies have souvenir booths at this locale. One woman said all of here stuff was made buy her. She must own a factory in China. The older lady had what they call "local drink" for sale. "Local drink" is fruit juice made from the locally grown fruits. It is generally pretty tasty. Each of the ladies were somewhat disappointed that I was not a tourist as I was not in the market for a their goods today. The older lady did tell me about her monkey that was having some dental issues and had starting biting her because it was getting older (probably an older juvenile). We knew some people in common.
The following video segment shows wave action as it hits the shoreline.
