Rob & Andy left a few days ago. It was a great sail with the guys so thanks company.

This is a picture from Spinnakers on the beach in Rodney Bay

Roy & I have moved down the coast for a couple of days. We are currently in Marigot Bay where we enjoyed a peaceful night without the expected mozzies.

Current position 13:57.996N 061:01.433W
