Have just returned back to St Lucia after a trip down to the Grenadines where we spent Christmas Day in the Tobago Cays with bubbly on the beach and lots of swimming with the sea turtles. Managed to buy a 10lb Turkey in the local supermarket in Bequia which we roasted for dinner. Peter has now worked out the correct heat settings for the BBQ as he cooked them perfectly then turned the heat down (or so he thought) and proceeded to cremate the turkey legs! Fortunately the breast was oven cooked so that was OK. So after imagining we would have turkey leftovers for days we actually polished it all off on boxing day.
Stayed overnight in Admiralty Bay Bequia on Monday and set off as early as we could yesterday for a long sail c102 miles back to St Lucia but as Customs did not open until 9am that was not as early as we had hoped!! Eventually lifted the anchor at 10.30am and arrived in Rodney Bay 11pm last night so anchored in the dark! Dinner was on the run in the dog bowls as we were quite well heeled over although the seas were reasonably flat at 3-5 feet. Wind dropped later after dinner so had to motorsail for the last part of the journey.
Will be having a day here in St Lucia before leaving tomorrow to visit Martinique for some French shopping!
