We are back aboard Neki. It has been too long but we finally scheduled a
trip and made it down to St Lucia. The boat was in the same slip as we had
after the ARC. The boat looks great and is in fantastic shape.
We have new crew on board in the form of old friends. Joining Anji and I on
board are Dean and Mary Beth Dorman and Dan and Kathy Sheehan. The Sheehan's
own their own boat in NY and the Dorman's are avid charter folks. It is nice
to have hard working crew on board.
We ate a great meal at the Edge in Rodney Bay and settled in the marina for
a night. The next day we set sail at 1100 for Anse Cochon. The wind was up
in the 12 - 15 knot range from the SE. We set the main and yankee and
enjoyed a leisurely cruise south. The boat sailed well and we hit a peak of
9 knots SOG. We got a mooring ball in Anse Cochon and did a wreck dive in
the afternoon. It was 40 - 60 feet of water and well preserved. Dean and I
swam up the inside of the wreck and popped out a small hatch near the stern.
Very cool for a first dive.
The boat was well stocked with prepped food so the girls put together a
great meal aboard. We had good wine, Groth, and stuffed peppers for dinner.
Tonight we will hit the fish fry in Anse la Raye.
