Jan. 9, 2008 - Moseying about

The New Year out of the way, we moved back to swing round the anchor at Falmouth for a few days before setting off to see a bit more of the Island.  We also put into Jolly harbour and met some very friendly Canadians before finally spending the night in Mamora Bay, home to one of the most exclusive hotels on the Island.  Some time ago someone said to me the best thing about cruising is to anchor off a really posh hotel and make the residents jealous of you – yup, they were right.

I’ve also decided to ignore all weather forecasts, last week it was going to blow 25-30 knots and get cold.  Guess what – its now windless and boiling hot.

We’re now getting ready to be invaded by siblings, who arrive on Friday for a week, Fi is sorting out food, cleaning and generally being a mum again – god knows why as in 30 seconds flat the boat will be a mess, still it will be nice to see them again.

The photo is Falmouth harbour at sunset - one of the best times of the day when we can finally relax!!!!

Now we know many of you are reading this, ‘cos you’ve told us and quite a few have said they might like to come out so here’s the current ‘plan’ which I will not be held to (this is the Caribbean!).

Guadaloupe and the Saintes mid Jan to early Feb

Dominica mid Feb

Martinique last week in Feb to mid March – booked already.

End March to mid April St Lucia

Mid April to mid May St Vincent and the Grenadines (mainly the Grenadines)

Mid May to June Grenada

Trinidad early June to lay up and come home

So Hugh and Suzie, Bas and Karen, Robbie, Mike and Wendy, James and Jenny, Matt and Penny, Helen and Peter and all the rest book early to save disappointment!!!
