Éowyn is still alongside in Le Phare Bleu Marina, Grenada in position  12:00.203N 61:43.436W
 
Chris managed to get onboard Eowyn a few days ago as her back injury has improved with acupuncture treatment.
 
We met Silke Zimmerman and Gerry Bryant from Scipio in Port Louis. The had just crossed the Atlantic and their 3rd crew, Gloria Pullan was with them. Because of some confusion with dates, Gloria was left high & dry after the others were to fly home, so we offered her a bed on Eowyn for 4 days.
 
In the meantime we were scouting around for crew to St Lucia to relieve the pressure on Chris. We were contacted by  young German couple, Michael & Stephanie who will sail at least to St Lucia where they hope to crew on a yacht travelling to the Pacific. Here is the website of our new crew http://quersegler.wordpress.com They write a little more than me (not difficult) but the text is in German of course!
 
We set off tomorrow, the 27th and take 3 days to give Chris an easy passage Northwards. We may get to Rodney Bay before New Year and will stay about 10 days. We plan to anchor in Chatham Bay, Union Island tomorrow night.
