Trompeta back in the water!

All went well yesterday at Grenada Marine although putting the sails back on was a fiddly job so so we did not manage to get away until after 2pm but we had a good downwind sail around the corner to Port Louis which is where we are now. Peter decided to change our start battery as it was reading low so Island Water World supplied one whilst we were on the dock at Grenada Marine. There are a couple of spare raw water pumps for engine and generator which had new seals put in which we received back before leaving. Very good technician called Green ran up both the engine and generator whilst we were still on the hard and these have performed well now we are back in the water. Plan is to leave this morning to head up the island chain to Tortola. Not sure yet if we will stop en route as the winds are forecast to be light over the weekend so we may just make a straight run for the BVI which will be a better wind angle rather than trying to curve around the islands. It all depends on conditions and how tired we feel!
