Reunion

Arrived here Saturday around 11am and spent the day sorting the boat before the reception in the evening organised by the Tourist Board and World ARC as it was the official prize giving event. Sunday was a rest day after the passage which was the worst so far of the trip. The seas were not good with swell coming from two different directions and the boat rolling from side to side. Cooking was difficult so we just ate quiche I had prepared on Friday morning. Today we went on the World ARC tour organised through the tourist board to the now extinct volcano. The last time the volcano erupted was 2007 so it is still active. The trip ended with lunch at a local restaurant Ti Rose which was very good with plenty of food and wine and music and dancing! Whilst we were away from the boat today our stack pack (sail cover ) was repaired by the local sail maker. Tomorrow I am shopping whilst Peter fixes things on the boat. We leave here Saturday morning 11am local time (4hours ahead of UTC).
