You can tell that Kuki has arrived on board – the blog is late. We completed cleaning the boat during the morning and left early for the airport with a view to visiting the chandlery at Jolly Harbour on the way and the hardware store to see what the dimensions of the fuel cans were. It turned out that Helen had bought up the whole supply on the island of the yellow coloured diesel cans but there are plenty of red ones which work equally well if we decide to go down that route-we will see what the fit looks like and make a decision next week. Kuki’s plane arrived on time and she was clear out of the customs hall in half an hour and complaining about the heat. We had a short tour of Shirley Heights to orientate her before heading down to the boat and getting her unpacked. We spent quite a lot of time going through things on the boat and them up the David’s for dinner and an early night for Kuki.
