Well we love it here, great place, friendly people and lots of socialising,
we arrived a week ago now and have been busy, we spent the first day catching up
on sleep and tidying the boat, in the evening we went to the beach for drinks
with some of the other boats, by the time we left the surf had built up and we
had little mishap getting the dinghy off the beach which resulted in the
outboard taking a swim (which isn't good for it), Steve did a brilliant job of
cleaning it with fresh water, carb cleaner etc and the next day after a little
persuasion it fired up so all was well and it lived to tell the tale – we now
row ashore for the beach parties.
We have met up with John ( from UK) a few times and visited
Speightstown we went there on a blue bus – state run, and returned on a yellow -
bus privately owned, both cost $2 a trip anywhere on the island but the yellow
ones play very loud music which make the journey like a fairground ride.
Lunch by beach in Speightstown – its a hard life!
Typical Bajan homes
We have been snorkelling around the boat cleaning the bottom as well as in
the marine reserve area a short distance from the boat which has a couple of
wrecks which all the fish love so its great to snorkel over and see all the
different types, there are meant to be turtles there too but we haven't seen any
yet.
We really don't know when we are leaving or where we are going next at the
moment we are happy here so plan to stay a while longer. .
