We arrived here in Rodney Bay on the morning of the 5th December and we had forgotten how busy it is here. Yesterday afternoon we had a long squall and the winds touched 50 knots, we were on the ARC Finish Line mooring buoy which held securely but conditions were a bit choppy as we were so far out in the Bay. We have just completed our first night of Finish Line Duties, checking 6 ARC+ boats across the finish line. It brings back memories of completing our crossing last year. Penny is the main radio operator as she is much better than me at handling the radio comms, she doesn't get stage-fright on the radio! We now have a quiet spell until mid-afternoon when we are expecting another boat, after which we will go off duty and hopefully take up a slip in the Marina.


The internet is very slow here as we are relying on our tethered mobile which is operating at 'E' which is much slower than the 'H+' we were getting in Antigua. We'll give it a try and see whether we can upload some photos. Les Saintes is very pretty and we both loved the laid back atmosphere. Also I have included a picture of our stowaway lizard, we haven't seen him for a while so we don't know whether he is still with us.
