After an uncomfortable crossing, we have arrived in Rodney Bay, St Lucia. We are at anchor in the middle of a wide, busy sandy bay. Our stay here will be longer than planned as we have to get the Jib sail fixed. It started to shred and then when we replaced it the spare sail also had small repairs so they are both with the sail doctor!!

Rodney Bay seems very commercialised and Americanised! So some exploring too as we will have more time to spare.

I have not forgotten photos of Dominica but need a decent connection so it will have to wait. Till then

Take care.
