Éowyn is alongside in Port Louis Marina, Grenada
 
My week estimate to recover from shingles turned out to be a tad optimistic! Two weeks later and we hope to set sail tomorrow towards St Lucia.
 
The shingles spread to my nose and with the possibility of an eye injury, I consulted an ophthalmologist who put me on a 2 week course of antivirals.
 
I was fairly useless for the first 10 days, leaving the hard work to Chris but things have improved the last couple of days and we were able to load the new anchor chain. The forecast to head north is the predictable easterly 10-15 knots so it will be a bit of a bash to St Lucia which should take us 3 days. chrissie flies home on the 6th and I will be joined by Mike Birch for 3 weeks (hopefully) sainlg
