St Lucia




We anchor in Rodney Bay and the water is terrible. There are so many boats at anchor; the crap must be emptied by the ton. I could not even see the boat when swimming right next to it. Really dirty which sucks cos we love swimming!!
We caught up with Doris and met Kat who invited us round for a curry, which was really good. We were surprised to learn that Simon has been baking bread and cakes and all sorts. Cheeky devil said he could not cook when we were in Cape Verdes so we took him under our wing and cooked him dinners aboard Quartermoon. We have come to the conclusion it was all lies and Simon was lazy and just wanted to be fed.
We’ll get you back Boo. Had a wicked evening on Doris where we met James and Freya from Otahi and Mat a single handed sailor who just crossed the pond in a 15 ft self built submarine style boat. We all managed to devour three litres of rum and woke up so goddam rough the next morning. To mine and Sym excitement when going to the customs to check in we discover the ultimate of hang over cures. BURGER KING. Oh yes western civilization felt good. We both ordered a whopper and it tasted the best. We were however a tadge gutted that we did not get a double whopper. Even so it the first fast food place we have been to in about 6 months. Next door was a proper big supermarket (like Tesco’s) full of everything we needed. We have not done a proper stock up for the boat since the canaries and since then it’s been buying odd and ends from tiny grocery stores which tend to be mega bucks.
The following evening we all go to the beach and have a bbq which again was a wicked night and decide to take it easy the next night and have a bit of a detox for the evening as our mates are due to arrive the next day which would end up being a large one.
