1st full day completed in the Caribbean. Results came
back from yesterdays PCR test, both negative. Received blue wrist bands and have
moved boat to D pontoon, cleared customs and immigration, checked in with
marina and most importantly have had a shower plus for me shaved off 3 week
beard. Tonight we can party on the town. That reminds me need to get some East
Caribbean dollars.
Cockpit locker removed inflatable boat, engine, folding
bike and cover for deck.
Serviced engine throttle mechanism as yesterday
sticking with button stuck in after starting engine a bit of a worry as
unable to motor, only tapping got it out. Engine was not used at all during the
crossing the solar panel and fuel cell (EFOY) with methanol for night
charging.
New camping gaz bottle fitted before leaving Las Palmas
and still half fuel by feel, so with luck the 3 bottles left with may last until
get back to UK June 2021.
Today John and myself temporarily back in the real world
clearing emails.
Tomorrow will get into routine of fixing things in the
morning then relax afternoon and evening. We plan to be here until after prize
giving on 19th leaving on the Monday for some anchorage somewhere as long as we
have sails back from repair which we cannot do anything till Tuesday as a
holiday here Monday.
