We have finally completed all the jobs we had to do on the boat so are now ready to leave the BVI. Fuel tank has been filled along with 9 spare Jerry cans giving us a total of 600 litres of fuel which is enough to motor for around 800+ miles. The plan is to leave at first light tomorrow morning before the sun is really up around 5.30/6am and head off down to Guadeloupe first for an overnight stop on Saturday then on to St Lucia to be there by Tuesday which is when David & Alison fly in from England to join us.
The new Bimini arrived today after several attempts by the sailmaker to get it fitting correctly!! We even had time to varnish the outside Chart Table areas so the boat is looking very smart now.
We have a berth booked in Rodney Bay Marina for 14/15 & 16 Dec and hopefully there will be WiFi so I can update the blog! It will also be easier for the crew to join us in the Marina rather than trying to ferry people and luggage by dinghy from the boat at anchor. No danger of getting too wet! (we hope).
Getting excited about the World ARC now and Peter just wants to 'get on with it!!' as he is fed up of doing jobs on the boat.
Having dinner with Dave & Dawn on More Amore tonight and she has a bottle of champagne in the fridge for us! Have been giving bottles of wine to the Moorings staff as the Dockmaster is not charging us anything for spending time on the dock which has saved us a fortune (cUS$700).
