Return to Charlotte Amalie
 
 
 
 
 
Accompanied through the narrows by this ferry complete with Mack truck, that starts my day well
 
 
 
 
Even skipper is looking pleased and confident
 
 
 
 
Perhaps it's because he managed to get a nice shot of the seaplane landing
 
 
 
 
We found a nice big spot to drop the hook - right next to Freya of Clyde
 
 
Ann and Alan were just returning from a shopping trip and came aboard for a cup of tea and a catch up. Then we went off to log in, pop into the marina, get a number of an electrical chap and ring. Being Friday afternoon Vince said he would pop in on Monday, possibly. Then we went for sundowners aboard Freya, as soon as we got back to Beez our friends we had first met in Rabat came aboard for a beer and a catch up. Dave, Becky and children Jordan and India had sold Chili Oyster and bought the very beautiful Seas the Moment. We went for supper on Saturday night and fell in love with all the space a Voyage 500 catamaran offers, I had to make it up to Beez that night. Ann and I had gone flight searching that morning and a plan was coming together for getting to Peru in September. All in all a better day for me than for Bear. Alan had been over with "tools" and decided it was the alternator playing up. Thank heavens we hadn't paid for a new set of batteries from Alberto, in the end his bit of the saga has now moved on a tad. Bear tried to charge up again using the generator, and guess what, it was defunct. Something else for Vince to look at. Sunday we went to Mojo's for lunch of Nachos with cream cheese, chili and bits, plenty for Bear to get into a real mess with. Ann booked the flights, yippee. Spent a long time in the Green Harbour pub at happy hour on the internet catching up. Monday, put washing in and began a real clear-out, watch out Bear. 
 
After the Alberto fiasco I was fed up Vince couldn't make it until Tuesday morning. After rummaging, he took a carrier bag of "stuff" away with the poorly generator. Next step is for us to ring at five and see what's next.
 
 
 
ALL IN ALL BUSY FEW DAYS
