After checking into Rodney Bay and doing some general boat chores – Customs & Immigration; getting a Digicel SIM card; buying some groceries & enjoying a delicious plate of Sushi – we were ready to continue our hurried path south.

 

That evening I swam over to meet John & Joanne on sv Out of Africa with whom we share many cruising friends. Their friend Devin on sv Moosetracks also swam over and we had a great chat while treading water off the back of the yacht.  How sad to write this, knowing that subsequently both Devin (heart attack) & Joanne (cancer) died before this year was over.

 

From Rodney bay we overnighted at The Pitons, which has to be one of the most spectacular anchorages in the whole Eastern Caribbean
