We folllowed our plans and headed down to Marigot
Bay and then down to Soufries, Spent one night at each and then headed
back to Marigot Bay... It is a very beautiful harbour and recluse.
On our way back up to Rodney bay we were under full sail with the winds blowing
20 - 24 knots and gusting to 28 when we heard a bang and finally realized our
haylard for our head sail had broken.. Not a major problem but we did have to
get our sail in to be sewn as the top 12 inches ripped, On the 6th we went
out again to see the start of the World ARC, These yachts are sailing
around the world over the next 15 months... Some of them we are well known to
and call them our friends... so it was great to see them off on their
journey. The world ARC is not a race but more a ralley.... Valerie and
David left today for greener pastures back in
Vancouver.
