Having arrived earlier than planned Roger still had his hotel room for a few extra nights.

This meant we have been able to avail ourselves of the hotel facilities.

�

Within an hour of his being presented with his crew cap brought out from the UK -

which had been especially embroided with the words �Cabin Boy�, Roger had lost it !

�

Since Bootlegger�s arrival the days have been spent teaching Roger the difference

between Bootlegger�s sharp end and her blunt end, running around shopping, picking up

victuals and visiting chandleries for a hundred and one items. There was of course the

essential registering of our arrival with Immigration and Customs over at Prickly Bay

which, for once, was a reasonably pleasant experience.

�

Today I have to chase FedEx re the arrival of a spare part for the sump pump being sent

from Amel, Martinique.I have purchased and rigged a temporary one in place until the

main pump can be re-instated.

�

The plan is to leave here and go around to Le Phaire Bleu a little further up the coast.

This is a small select marina and resort, owned and run by a Swedish couple,

a Swedish lightship serving as its main feature. The lightship features a very fine restaurant

that is always well patronised.

After Le Phaire Bleu we head for the island of Carracou to the north of here.
