Nov. 21, 2008 - Ooops, blush etc

So there we were coming out behind Hog Island to go to Clarks Court Bay marina for the weekend as the weather forecast was bad and we needed the laundry.  We knew some of the reef buoys had shifted in the bad weather earlier in the week so were being extra careful.  I was following the exact track we had used to come in on previously - so how come Fiona did a slow motion fall off the cockpit table as the boat gently parked herself on the reef!!!  She came off quite easily (the boat that is) - quite lucky as the tide was falling. Anyway I dived her today and apart from my pride and some antifouling on the bottom of the keel - no lasting damage thank goodness.

Still we've made a load of new friends here, 9 of us drinking in the cockpit of a 32 ft boat the other night was cosy. Many, like us are waiting for a weather window to head up Island, which is forecast for later in the week - although relying on Caribbean forecasting is not an exact science to say the least.  Probably go to the pot luck supper in the Marina tomorrow and Rogers beach bar barbecue on Sunday - what a hard life.
