May. 1, 2009 - Disembarked, Dismasted, Discombobulated, and (Drizzled on)

And you try saying that after a few rums!!!

So there we are on the hard ready for the hurricanes and more importantly insured - hence no mast.  We  moved into a local 3 star hotel as there is no water or electricity in the the yard as they are still building it , but their rates are really good we can live with that.  How do you cope with a bed that doesn't move around and a shower where you can leave the water running as long as you like?  It looks like I might even be able to stop getting up at 0200 and walking around in the buff  to check the anchor hasn't dragged (don't think anyone noticed last night!!!!!)    The weather clearly has decided to get us ready for the UK as we've hardly seen the sun for several days and its drizzled all day today.

As you can see all has been crossed of 'the list'  (its taken a week), bar getting customs on board tomorrow to do a temporary importation of the boat - a completely meaningless activity which keeps loads of custom guys in a job - hey its the Caribbean.

Flight out on Sunday and then back to reality - I'm hoping that Fi doesn't break her arm this time.  After that - who knows.
