What a day, we listened to the rugby on RTE – a fantastic result. We continue to fly our Munster flag with pride!  We have been stuck here (still in Margiot Bay) waiting for a weather system to clear. Highlight of the day was snorkeling and in bay just south of here – some interesting “local” wildlife on board a party catamaran distracted Brendan and Peter for a while!! Some big swells outside and local advice has been to let it clear. We cast off tomorrow at 0500hrs with an ETA into the BVI on Tuesday afternoon. We may stop at Nevis on the way.

Off to dinner just now – Ilo and Brenda successfully navigated dangerous waters to the local shops are now returned with many bags!

We have taken it easy the last couple of days with a bit of swimming and a bit of alcohol. We have had further battery trouble after the shore power lead was dropped in the water. After a lot of effort we swapped out the engine starter battery and the problem seems resolved.

All the best for now

Brendan, Brenda, Peter & Ilo
