Jan. 17, 2009 - The view from the dining room

As hoped, the wind dropped and we were able to move out to the anchorage near Pigeon Island in Rodney Bay yesterday morning.  Didn't get a green flash from the sunset but it was nice to sit and watch the light change as the sun disappeared.  Mind you, I was up at 0200 as the heavens opened and it pelted down for the rest of the night.  Strangely the wind stayed completely calm which made a change.  Gonna stay here today - might just have to get the hammock out this afternoon.  Fi and Robbie have gone ashore to walk up to the old fort at the top of Pigeon Island and take some photos.  Forecast is now good for the rest of the week so we will mosey slowly down Island to drop Robbie off at the airport next Friday.

On a previous entry I posted a photo of the most expensive sailing yacht in the world, the Maltese Falcon.  Below is not the most expensive boat in the world but probably the most fun - imagine a marina getting a call from them asking for a berth or fuel!!!
