You'd really like it here, Andy, in fact It's wonderful!! Here in Tyrell Bay, Carriacou, there's a 'boat bar'. The owner, Simon, goes round the anchorage flogging Chilean wine from his dingy AND IT'S ONLY 20p (yes, twenty pence) A BOTTLE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN GOING TO THE SUPERMARKET!!! What a wonderful place :) Booze to the boat.Madness not to buy some wine.

We left Petite Martinique this morning (6th) after spending a day ashore yesterday - lunch at Melodey's beach bar & all that sort of stuff. Had a good headsail run to Hillsborough, checked in (all the officials were as miserable as sin) then motored round to Tyrell Bay.

Entries for the caption competition are trickling in, the winner will be announced next week.
