Well I have decided to use this blog for
future notes as I am able to update without a broadband connection which I can't
do with blogger.com and now Chris has downloaded a program where I can reduce
photo's to put on site I am raring to go! So I will start this blog with a
quick update as from the last posting in December. This was in fact
incorrect because I we arrived St Lucia 21st December not the 24th the date the
blog was posted. Just as a matter of interest we have a certificate which
says we did the crossing but we have no official time as we were over the finish
date, classed as "did not finish".
So from Rodney Bay, St Lucia to Admiralty Bay, then
Friendship Bay and Petit Nevis, Bequia, back to Vieux Fort, then Rodney Bay, St
Lucia. I forgot to say we saw a moonbow in Rodney Bay over Pigeon
Island, never seen one before. From there we move to Anse Mitan,
Martinique, where we saw our first Caribbean turtles in the
wild.
Now onto Dominica, on the passage between
Martinique we saw a whale broach about a mile away, not sure what sort of whale
but is a confirmed sighting as we both saw it. Our first entry port is
Roseau where I am made Master or Commander of Quicksilver, that will teach Chris
to leave form filling to me!! We met with Thomas & Regula for a trip
to the Victoria Falls, which involved a jungle trek, crossing of the White River
(five times) and a rock climb. Oh yes and a photo of Chris picking up a baby Boa
constrictor! Amazing when we got there, the river was in spate due to
previous nights rain and the 300 ft falls were spectacular! Our next
anchorage will be in Portsmouth, Prince Rupert Bay and will let you know how we
are getting on.
Hope all is well with you all. S & C
xx
P.S Flying fish everywhere!!
