There are 365 beaches in Antigua, so I believe, and one of them is shown below. 365 was also the record number of runs scored in Test cricket by Sir Garfield Sobers, until Brian Lara scored 400 in the 4th Test Match in 2004 at The Rec, St Johns. This is celebrated on the plaque in the second snap below.
The final graphic below shows the autograph of Herschelle Gibbs, whom I had the pleasure of meeting a while back in Birmingham, on a trip to the old country. Very polite gentleman, he is. He is also the holder of a record - for the most sixes scored in an international match. He achieved this feat recently, during a World Cup match at Warner Park, against the Netherlands. Unless it is removed, you may be able to see the shots he played here.

But what about Bob Woolmer's murder, if I may be so bold? Whodunnit?
Incidentally, it reached my attention recently that the reason Menzies is pronounced Mingis has something to do with similarities/confusion between the late middle English script for 'g' and 'z' letters. I can't now remember whether this info came from a recent novel or the History Channel.
Mingin'! 400 runs! How amazingly boring! How long did that take? All with the spectators being unable to see what was happening because they do not have a teevee! Dearie me! But the creatures from Outer Space like it! That and ra bliss is all they like about the human beings! Hotboy
Good tropical pic and interesting about your meeting with the cricket guy. Did I ever tell you about meeting Muhammad Ali?
