Our second visit to Marigot Bay and we were ready
this time, after dark the fruit was in a bowl in the fridge or in the
cockpit. Sure enough we got back from dinner and the bananas in the
cockpit had been savoured by the bats, more gone this time as the bananas
were riper and there was no mango option. Windows and hatches were closed
most of the night as it hardly stopped raining long enough to notice so no
further visits.
The fuel dock here is constantly busy as the boats
from Martinique are still coming to St Lucia, now we have a fuel gauge and 5
gallons in a spare tank we may wait until Bequia for diesel. Checked out
from customs and immigration already but the dock no longer does duty free
fuel so our organisation is to no advantage anyway.
Stephen and Carl left yesterday for the cricket in
Barbados, once again had the Liat fairy godmother looking after them, the flight
arrived 20 mins early!! Never before have we known Liat to be early and
they did it twice! Anyway back to 2 of us so the backgammon is out and a
new league starting. Also we have spread gear back into the aft
cabins, looking clearer in the salon. Yesterday was also
raining almost constantly so we went ashore to do chores and both had a haircut
which means we now look like sea hedgehogs, that photo even more funny
now. (see 9th Feb blog)
Good news is we have managed to reiki the photo
card and retrieved the pictures of Antigua and Guadeloupe we thought were
lost for ever. Amazing how quickly one forgets things until nudged by a
picture.
Weather is improving according to the forecast, so
St Vincent and the Grenadines from tomorrow. Funny how the Liat fairy
godmother was working but the boys had no influence over the weather
gods.
