Nov. 26, 2007 - Busy Busy Busy

Now had two days on Village Quay marina getting the boat sorted after we picked her up at 2330 on Saturday night from the freighter. Obviously Ten AM in the BVIs really means Eleven PM – must remember for the future.  Not too sure about all this ‘lazy days in the Caribbean’ bit.  We haven’t stopped, what with re-rigging the mast, setting up the Bimini, shopping, finding gas, fixing the SSB, refitting the sails, servicing the engine.  Why do I think I will get no sympathy!!  Still on the bright side a bottle of 43% Mount Gay rum is only £4.  We are off tomorrow for a sail about and currently plan to leave for St Martin Thursday night when the weather looks bestist for the week. Looking forward to posting the first photos of sun kissed, palm fringed Islands in a few days.

For those contemplating joining us for a tad of lotus eating, we aim to be in Antigua the first two weeks in Jan when our kids are coming out.   Neil Revington has currently bagged the first two weeks in March, in Martinique and FIs sister is probably coming out soon after.  So that leaves Feb when we should be about Guadeloupe/Dominica and April onwards – probably south of Martinique ie,  St Lucia Down to Grenada  although serious request to be elsewhere will be considered.  Looking at booking into Trinidad mid June.
