13:15.874N 61:15.628W Arrived here after an great sail from Bequia, getting up to 9 knots at times. This bay was recommended to us by a friend and it certainly is well worth a visit.  Unfortunately the Christmas Even storm did a great deal of damage and also has mudded the water in the bay. Other than that it is picture perfect.  The people couldn't be more helpful in taking our lines ashore and taxiing us to the restaurants. Then we don't have to worry about being over the limit to drive a dinghy. That is if the outboard engine worked which it doesn't. So it would otherwise have to be 'row the boat ashore Micheal'!  The equipment to get fixed when we get to St Lucia is growing by the  day. So what? it helps to keep unemployment down!!



      Ouch, that must have hurt some!!
