We arrived in Rodney Bay marina on the 17th primarily to visit Island Waterworld chandlery and do some

provisioning for the forthcoming cruising with Gilie & Hutch. However on picking up our anchor and

manoevering off the moorings there was an enormous noise and vibration from the engine which forced

us to re-anchor immediately. Investigations showed that the drive shaft coupling had come loose and sheared

bending the propshaft! As a result we are currently still stuck in Rodney Bay with Gillie & Hutch rebooking

their flights down here. We are then intending to sail 'sans engine' up to Antigua where we will get the repairs

carried out.
