Over night the wind was up and down, therefore speed was
too. Just going past Nevis lots of rain and wind in excess of 20 knots, a reef
required. Reef only in 10 minutes then fast sail to anchorage. Launched dinghy
to clear customs and immigration. Immigration had extra forms to fill in so had
to put phone on roaming to complete, then one can only be done on a computer,
the nice lady behind the counter did this for me.
Spent a bit of time talking to the dockmaster about
getting in the marina, it is full, 38 boats. We are now against an outside wall
with a 5 foot climb to the dock. To make this a little easier have made 2 steps
from 2 fenders. We may have to move some mornings as the local tourist cruise
boat may need fuel in the mornings. A small price to pay for the convenience of
getting ashore and using the facilities. Cheapest marina I have been to as just
50 cents US per foot per night.
Not sure if a blog will come out until we are on the
move again as the satellite signal here is none existent, unles we can get a
data SIM for a few days as we are only looking at staying here 3 nights. Plan
was to stay longer but being Easter next weekend and nothing set up for us in
the BVI's going earlier to settle in.
