Last night whilst in Clifton got talking to some French
in the bar. Somehow we got onto Covid and they said they had there vaccinations
this week at the local clinic on Union Island. It appears the locals don't want
the jab so as not to be wasted none locals can have them. This was filed away
for when we were at an Island during the week or our next PCR test. This morning
we went ashore to get bread and snacks on the Slave green in centre of Clifton
there was an open tent and signs saying Covid vaccinations. We asked about it
and could have one but required our passports, a trip back to the boat to get
them and we had our Oxford AstraZeneca jab without any queues or waiting
brilliant. 2nd jab we maybe able to get in Antigua or have to wait until back in
UK which will be on the 12 weeks limit. What a bonus for us.
After the vaccination dropped the buoy at 1255 and have
motored to Mayreau, Careenage Bay at north of island, another picturesque
location and turquoise water. Today anchored in just 3.7M so only half meter
under the keel. Arrived at 1400 just 4.5nm done. Rained hard a few times since
being here a pleasant change as we have not been in rain of any substance for a
few weeks.
