Éowyn is now at anchor
in Prickly bay, Grenada
We motored round on Thursday, after
Turbulence said their man could attend to our rigging issues on Friday.
Wayne duly arrived and displayed a level of great competence rarely seen in
these waters.
Furthermore, Nicholas, the manager of
Budget Marine baled me out with the loan of an engine start battery as there
were none in stock. 10 out of 10 for service Nicholas. We will visit him on
Monday with the customary bribe of Lindor chocolate!
The matter had been made worse as our
house batteries are almost kaput and we must get to Martinique to
replace them as they are not available here.
With Jochen & Sabine Lenz and a
number of other German visitors we went to a fantastic floating concert
organised as usual by the energetic Dieter from Le Phare Bleu. He puts so much
into the Island and makes up for the rest of us! There were 4 excellent bands
and we danced the night away before enjoying a hairy local bus ride back to
Eowyn at midnight.
We must head North when the wind
backs on Thursday but in in the meantime we have dinners arranged with Tim &
Val Arnold and Mike & Carol Day. we also hope to squeeze in another few
beers with Jochen and Sabine
