Safiya arrived in St Thomas USVI's safely on 30th 0ct, which unfortunately caused me to miss Graces 21st Birthday bash at home! Safiya was amazingly clean and no damage thanks to all the preparations in Palma and Declans hard work! We are now in Crown Bay marina recommissioning her ,which will take a full 2 to 3 days. The weather is very hot and humid which is a shock to the system. When ready we are sailing to Tortolla BVI's to clear customs and cruise around to be in Trellis Bay to collect Sue from the Airport on Sunday. We then will continue around the Islands and hope to do a lot of diving. We are looking forward to Colin and Fiona Fish joing us for thier fisrt sailing holiday, I am not sure if they swim like fish or drink like fish but we shall find out!

Yours Capt Barky
