Title: False starts, but ready to go now...

At anchor, Anguilla, Log 20852, 18:10N 63:09W, Monday 11th 1300 local = 1800BST



We were planning to go Sunday, but my bag - due in from Paris didn't arrive on Saturday, not Sunday. So, we'll forget the dang bag. Huge shoping trip on Saturday, diesel fuelling Saturday pm, hull scraping (to clear barnacles and give us good speed) Sunday morning, fruitless bag chasing on Sunday afternoon, and we set off from St Martin this morning.. Anchored off Anguilla to haul up the dinghy and found the generator has overheated and cut out, hence another hour or so fitting a new impeller. The impeller might be susceptible to the scraped-off barnacle debris - scrape the barnacles and within a day or so the impeller goes pop, it seems.



Off sailing soon. Dee asks if there an indicator of Distance to Go. Sideshow Marc agrees that's just asking "are we nearly there yet". No, we aren't
