"Off To Enjoy The Islands - 3rd December"
 
All jobs (well, almost all), have been competed.  Those that haven't are not so important and will be done at a later time. 
 
Today we are off to enjoy the islands.  It has been very hot here and because we have been working, we have only extended our excursions to the Yacht club and restaurants within the marina boundaries.  It has been good to enjoy the civilisation of showers etc, but we are all looking forward to getting back out to sea to enjoy the real Caribbean. 
 
Tony and I went shopping at the small store in the marina for a few essentials.  I checked when we entered the shop that they would accept a credit card payment.  When we came to check out I produced my card only to be asked for my ID!  Noel, who had gone to Immigration to "Clear Out" had my passport.  I tried to explain that I did not have my passport, clearly this was not acceptable and by now there was a lengthy queue behind us.  Luckily I remembered my freebie Bus Pass which was tucked in my purse.  I produced it and with a slightly puzzled frown the small card was scrutinized before being somewhat reluctantly accepted as suitable.  I signed on the dotted line and we escaped with our purchases. 
 
The shopping is stowed away, tea is being brewed, after which it will be time to, take down the awning, disconnect the power line, refuel and the castaways will be on their way.
