Dec. 17, 2008 - Orf home

We are sitting sweating in Rodney Bay marina at the mo, getting ready to shut up and go home for a couple of weeks.  You know you are in the Caribbean when after confirming your reservation at 6 months, 1 month and one week, they deny all knowledge of your booking.  Still they found us space despite the ARC boats all piling in (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers for those who didn't know).  There are 205 boats in this years rally which is pretty impressive.  So is the new marina with lots of space and much tidier, shame they haven't built a new shower block!  We had a great night out before we came in with 8 of us on board finishing up the fish, which we would otherwise have had to throw away when we turn the fridge off. 

Now looking forward to coming home and seeing the whole family.  As well as Christmas, we have to celebrate the engagement of Neil, our son to his gilfriend Aimee - more sore heads I suspect.  We are also going to try to fit in various visits to friends in quite a short space.  Not looking forward to the weather though!  wonder what else we'll find out like VAT being reduced - which I only discovered by accident on the internet the other day.  More palm tree and fish photos in the New Year.
