Editorial Summary

On the thirteenth day of a fifteen day transatlantic cruise, the creators visit St. Lucia. Their initial plans for a catamaran tour fall through due to unexpected permission requirements, leaving them with nine hours of unplanned time in port. Upon walking into the streets, they encounter aggressive street vendors, which leads them to return to the ship to regroup and research. They decide to attempt a spontaneous food tour by walking to a local market to find Caribbean cuisine. While searching, they find spicy pepper sauce and sweet bananas. The creators note a significant shift in their perception of the local people after meeting friendly individuals at a restaurant. They eventually enjoy fried fish cakes and interact with a local who is already a subscriber to their YouTube channel. To conclude their day, they accept an invitation from the Windjammer Resort to relax on the beach. They spend the afternoon at the resort enjoying the water and local drinks, ultimately concluding that the cancellation of their original tour allowed for a more authentic local experience.

this morning after our trip got canceled we were frantically reaching out to a bunch of people trying to set something up to do
