Completed a week in the Caribbean, as a week ago today
we finished.
No major jobs today.
1. Put a ratchet block on the
snuffer line of the black spinnaker to see if easier to get down when under
load.
2. Code 0 continuous furling line
reattached the broken bungee to end block and identified alternate attachment
point on boat so should not jam around a stanchion. As double fairlead broken
and unable to source another identified an alternate way of knowing which line
will furl in.
3. Got a 2nd 5 liter fuel can and
cycled to the garage with both for petrol so we can run around when at anchor in
the dinghy with our 2.5HP outboard. Price of fuel similar to that of
UK.
Went out for a cycle to Pigeon Island to look at the
fort and the views around the area. Finish line not there any more. Could see to
Martinique and the south to the Pitons. Sandals resort was making a racket and
I'm sure ruining the tranquility of those out at anchor in the bay otherwise
lovely views and cool in the breeze.
