At anchor Marin
harbour Martinique.
Hangover
day.
We had a lovely sail
over from Rodney bay to Marin harbour Martinique 25 knots of wind, 2 reefs in
the main, full genny and 10 knots of boat speed. Andy, Ian and Nicko were
partied-out and feeling a bit sick so Ron took the reins.
We arrived at about
3pm, unfortunately there was no space at the marina so we anchored. Tom and
Maureen prepared a lunch of Heinz tomato soup and toast - great hangover
food.
Ian, Nicko, Young Tom and Andy
pumped up the dinghy and motored across to the marina.
The customs were
closed until the morning and we were leaving early so we'd have to chance
it.
For such a small
place Marin has a reputation for having some fantastic facilities and the
rigging shop didn't disappoint - having all we needed to repair the main
and winch.
We were so tired
couldn't even man a beer ashore opting for a soft drink instead. Martinique
looked a lovely place however we needed a good rest so it was back to the boat.
Ian cooked up
M&S hot lamb curry with papadams, nan bread, mango chutney and rice all
washed down with water - no wine for the boys tonight.
We settled down at
anchor to watch Troy on DVD and within half-an-hour everyone was asleep it was
9pm, time for an early night.
