Tuesday - a work day for the hardcore 3 that remained. The tender
was lifted onto the foredeck, a tricky operation using one of the
booms as a crane. Aside from our ghastly moment adrift in St Barth
we did get some positive use from the tender - a trip round to
Pigeon beach, although breathing out nostalgic two stroke fumes to
the muted joy of swimmers. Then it is was back to the glitzy
splendour of the new airport at St Johns. We noticed hordes of
uniformed types at every step in the process, most of them doing
absolutely nothing - albeit in a pleasant way -- but the economics
of the place are weird. Here are a few more photos, in no particular order Joleigh and Glenn doing things on deck  Birthday card for C   The srange and slightly sinister derelict casino at Jolly Harbour  The yoof in the cockpit. Ails cooly helming in fairly bumpy seas (note - no auto pilot on OS at present, it has to be the real McCoy on helming)      (from Charlie in David's tender - Gregor waving goodbye. Deck at sea, must be bumpy as hatches all closed, looks like Gabes in the pulpit) |
