Left Rodney Bay just after 10 for the 9 mile sail south
to Soufriere Bay. Have moored on a local fisherman's ball as nearer to the dock
to get ashore. I did not want John to be exhausted if the engine did not start
coming back and needed to row all the way. The sail was very slow as the wind
was being very fickle and we had some 180 degree wind shifts to keep us amused.
As we were under no time constraints did sail all the way in to 100 meters or so
of the shore, Not sure of the boat boy, Bradley Cooper, we dealt with, only
one out and had no real proof to my like that he worked for SMA the local
conservancy group. We are rolling a lot with all the boats going by at
speed.
Today you will be able to see us on Marine Traffic as
remembered to put the power switch for the splitter to H5000 our navigation
computer so a stronger signal would be sent out to the receiving
stations.
Presently investigating going for a hike up Gran Piton.
All seems quite expensive with a 50US$ entrance fee and you have to have a
guide, plus we will need transport to the start, may have to see if the
boat boy can help.
Can see a few other ARC boats around the bay and on
AIS.
