Éowyn is still
alongside in Le Phare Bleu Marina, Grenada in position
12:00.203N 61:43.436W
Out plans are now changed as
Chris's back injury has prevented her from getting onboard Eowyn until today.
She ha received several treatments from Chiropractor, Gary Adams and is now
consulting Sally Dawson for acupuncture at the Calabash Hotel Spa.
Eowyn now has a smart new
bimini from Dave Royce and most fitting out work is complete. A few things have
stopped working as happens on any yacht - the main frustration of cruising here!
Thanks to the good offices of Dick & Irene Craig, I completed the purchase
of a second hand Parasailor from an Australian in St Lucia. Dick has the sail
onboard Tucanon and hopefully we can rendezvous with them in Antigua to collect
it. We have also contact with other WARC friends as Jutta and Jochem Dohne are
still in Grenada. They hosted us to sundowners last night and after we met Gerry
Bryant with crew Silke & Gloria who just arrived from Tenerife on Rival 41
Scipio. Gloria will bunk down on Eowyn for a few days as she waits for her
return flight.
We have been staying in a
smart bungalow at Le Phare Bleu which is very comfortable but has hit our budget
somewhat. We hope to move on to Eowyn in a couple of days but will stay
alongside the dock for another week before Chris can try the dinghy. Hopefully
we will get to Antigua for New Year - time will tell.
When Chris goes for
acupuncture, I take the opportunity to dive with Scubatech. We had some great
dives, notably the King Mitch and San Juan. Here is a link to Carsten's video of
our King Mitch dive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr-filknYps
