Have been joined on board by Dave & Alison who flew in from England last Tuesday. The following 3 days we were on the dock in Rodney Bay Marina getting yet more jobs done on the boat. Now we are almost ready we decided to go off to explore the islands and spent last night at anchor off Pigeon Island where D&A went ashore and climbed to the top of the hill and saw all the old cannons and other relics from when this was a fort protecting the Island from invaders. We stayed on the boat and swam and sunbathed. Peter intended to swim under the boat to check everything looks OK but he could not get his mask to stop letting in water due to several days beard growth!! He has now shaved so next time should be better!!
The plan at the moment is to sail to Marigot Bay today which is where they filmed Dr Doolittle and is also the local Moorings base so D&A want to see old friends as they used to work from this base on a 62' crewed catamaran. We also need to buy a courtesy flag for the Grnadines as we want to sail to Bequia tomorrow.
We hope to spend Christmas in Bequia if we can find a good place to anchor as it is very popular with maybe 200 boats in the anchorage who come to see the fireworks!
