Must have been all of, oh let's see now, 3.48nm
from the anchorage in the Cays to saline Bay, Mayreau!!! We motored to charge up
the batteries as the next couple of days are unlikely to be sunny. This looks a
sheltered spot, a little 'smelly' from the salt pans a couple of hundred metres
away, but I think we can live with that. Also a bit of a hike up a steep hill to
the 'town', but allegedly there are several bars/restaurants and one halfway
decent supermarket, so we'll see.
'Tiger Frightener' came round for a farewell supper
last night. I managed to spring a predominantly 'bean stew' on them (with some
minced-beef), so I hope I'll be forgiven. Strange to think that I'll probably
next see Larry in Bournemouth, when he services a friends Morgan. (We've been
practicing sucking in of breath and saying things like 'Oh dear Guv'nor, this is
worse than we thought. It'll take at least another day so that'll be more than
the standard service. Oh dear oh dear oh dear'.
Oh yes, we had drinks on the beach on saturday
night. The Canadians from Appleseed (Peter & Eileen) had a hand-operated
blender for the rum punches. I want one!!!!!
