Lovely anchorage and a rich persons hotel for
honeymooners on Young Island just across the water from us. Keep looking
out for domestics over there through the binoculars (does that make me a
voyeur). Nearer to us on the other side is the mainland and a nice looking
beach. I should work up some enthusiasm to go for a swim, just worried the water
maybe cold. John assures me it is warm.
Yesterday mentioned all the places we passed and had
some comments we should have gone to them. We will once we have been cleared
quarantine and have a cruising permit for the area, we shall scoot down south to
Union Island then back up through Tobago Cays and Bequia and other places that
take our fancy.
This morning carried out some minor maintenance. The aft
locker leak sealed an electrical connector (not used) as yesterday did find
water on the sealant plug where the cable did run. Would like to think I will
find the real culprit soon. The R clip securing the anchor in place was found
bent this morning, straightened so can now be removed. The fan in the main cabin
has not worked for a few days. Today took it to bits for investigation nothing
obvious although did move some wires that would cause a problem if
damaged. Powered back up all is working so not sure what really
fixed it. One of the remotes for the mast instruments not working. John
initially found a corroded battery, cleaning and replacing not the fix. Looked
further nothing obvious so down to one remote will have to make sure that does
not stay in one of the pockets on deck.
