24:34.440N 81:48.123W     The village is back to normal with most of the cleaning up of debris removed, mostly drowned trees. We can see where wood houses have been damaged with the outer wood boards stripped off. Also, a couple of Houseboats were sunk and most private jetties were ripped to pieces. Restaurants and pubs are all operational again, and the annual Fantasy Fest was held last week with loads of visitor to the town.   We are chilling, waiting for the end of Hurricane season, which was supposed to be 31 October, but we are keeping a daily lookout, just incase the weather gods did not notice the end of season date go by. Otherwise we are are stocking up with a good 6 months of supplies, as prices in the Caribbean are 3-4 times more expensive than the US, and little selection/variety. Winter has arrived, and for the first time since leaving the South African Cape waters we have hauled out the duvet. There's a definite nip in the air. We’ll probably head out to the Caribbean in about 2 weeks time. |
