198--St. Barths: Cheeseburger in Paradise @ CherieSpotting     Mar 17 2004 - 12:55 PST cherie writes: After having the song play in my head for so many years, its no wonder I crave one—a cheeseburger in paradise. Jimmy Buffet made it famous, a garden tucked away in the charming (but cosmopolitan) streets of St. Barths, in the French West Indies. St. Barths is laced with 22 translucent beaches and possibly the most sung about cheeseburger joint in the world—Le Select. For only 4.50 Euros, you can enjoy a cheeseburger in paradise, and all the barefoot elegance that St. Barths can dish out. We sailed from Tortola to St. Barths, and who did we anchor next to? Our California friends on Profligate, the 63-foot Custom Cat! After a sail around the island with our friends, we spent the afternoon doing very sophisticated things—like boogie boarding.

Windseeker, our buddyboat, on the way to St. Barths. Look who we anchored next to, Profligate. Lee, Manolo, Fred and Kate. Julie, Cloyce, Fred, Darrell and Mary. Darrell and Mary. Julie says: "I thought you knew how to drive!" They just dropped by for a quick hello. Cherie and Kate. What a beautiful ship! Kate, Julie and Cherie. Julie in St. Barths. Kate. French Fred and German Kate. French Fred and Spanish Manolo. Richard and Fred go for a swim. How do you get up this rock? Richard's no fool. He let's the French guy go first. Fred grabs his head and thinks: What am I doing? There he goes! A closer look. Is he ready for the Olympics? Fred pulls himself aboard. Congratulations--you survived! Now Fred can conquer the world. He just needs a hug from his girl. Cherie and Donna. Double trouble. Lee can't ask for anything more. Lauri likes it, too. Does that mean they like St. Barths...or don't like St. Barths? The Caribbean water is the same color as Joe's glasses. Donna toasts to the good life! New love. The sign at Le Select--No Dogs and No speedos? Waiting for our cheeseburgers at Le Select. The cooks at the joint that makes "cheeseburgers in paradise." A cheeseburger in paradise costs 4.50 Euros. French Fries are extra. (And they still call them French Fries, even though St. Barths is French.) A bunch of hungry sailors at Le Select in St. Barths. In St. Barths, even the toilets have that beachy feel.
