Position 12.52.688N 61.11.339W
Raised the anchor at 0945 this morning. Hanked
on the heavy weather jib with a 4 foot strop so we could leave the dinghy
inflated on the foredeck. Once out of the lee of Canouan Island we had 20 knots
from the east an excellent direction a only needed a short tack across, 30
minutes to make Mustique and Britania Bay. The sail was lovely although in
places the sea a little confused and difficult to get a rhythm through the
waves. We were met by some one from Mustique Moorings Limited to take our lines
for a mooring buoy. We did have to move because a tanker ship arrived and
anchored offshore and a fuel line was being ferried ashore right next to our
mooring buoy. It is expected to be here a few hours.
Basil's Bar is off limits to visitors as there are a lot
of people on the Island who have been here most of the pandemic and with no
cases during that time they do not want to get infected now. The places we are
allowed to go is the Firefly Hotel, that is $$$$$, so out of our league, oh and
slightly formal so suspect shorts not allowed. We can go to the village and the
pub there with a view over the Bay and that is only $$, our normal level of
expense.
