On the move again

Have a couple of days on the Moorings dock again to finalise our preparations for going back to work and sailing back down to St Lucia for the start of the hurricane season (officially 1 June). We have rented a store room (or rather an attic above some rooms) for the princely sum of $30pm to store our surplus clothes and other equipment we want to leave in the BVI. Have been offered temporary work starting 23 May to 17 June on a crewed yacht so will fly back to the BVI from St Lucia to do this then return back to our boat on 18 June. Then sail to Grenada for storage in a cradle in Grenada Marine boatyard which is a designated hurricane storage facility and approved by our insurers. Met up with some old crew in Village Cay today for lunch (Peter and Bobbi) who are still working on the same yacht they were on when they were here at The Moorings but doing private charters now. Their boat looks very different as they have really implemented all the little comfort and design improvements we all talked about before. So tomorrow is our last day of preparation before setting sail again to St Lucia. It is about 310 miles so will probably take us a little over 2 days if we get some decent winds. Have booked into Marigot Bay Marina from 19 May. The Marina has good WiFi so will be able to report on progress when we arrive!
