Really good stop in Anagada and a delightful sail
south back to Virgin Gorda. (see pics) The beaches in Anagada are completely
uninhabited and amazing soft sand. After a truely fantastic lobster dins and a
superb location, it was a great stop.
Then reality bites hard when the sewage system
fails!! You get so used to it working well and then ........... No comments from
friends that we are clearly full of it please....Yes the poo pump decided to take its turn to say "enough thanks 7000
miles and now a rest." An interesting pump breakdown and re-build sorted the
problem and we are no longer full of ......... Took a few hours for the smell to
clear.
The shipping date for Juniper has changed again
with it bringing forward this time so hopefully we will load around the 18/19th
and then fly back to the UK on the 22nd - arriving on the 23rd. Maybe missing
the strikes and ash.
Making the best of the last few days but lots of
work to come preparing Juniper for the shipping. Plan is to buy as much
industrial clingfilm as we can and cocoon all the major fittings and fixtures
from the soot of the ships propulsion system on the crossing. A bit of marina
time to clean up and manage the batteries then the 30 miles to St Thomas on
saturday.
