Christy and Perry Saving the World

Hot, sunny. We’re up early and at the Budget Marina dinghy dock by 7:30 am. We want to hit the stores when they open at 8:00 am. Turns out no way I can make the walk so Christy goes by herself with the list. I sit by Budget and research stuff like how to stow…

Slightly overcast which is a blessing. We’re not that crazy about Prickly Bay. Pros: Close to Budget Marine, Ace Hardware, RAM grocery, other restaurants, all walkable. The Prickly Bay Marina is pretty nice, great bar and restaurant. The public beach is good for swimming. Cons: We’re packed like sardines in here on the moorings. Anchorages…

Hot, sunny, very little wind We’ve reserved a mooring ball in Prickly Bay for Saturday and Sunday night. We’re hoping to make it there before 2 pm so we can go to Budget Marine and Ace Hardware which are not too far away. (Budget is on the bay itself). Only problem is there is no…

Hot sunny, a little overcast with a few drops of rain at noon but that’s it. Now this is a day to remember. One of those “OK, I have had enough learning for today” days. After driving around in the dinghy to drain it we’re off pretty early as we have a ways to go…

Hot, sunny Today we do a lot of work on ‘puters as Christy turns on her Bell SIM card. Not much point in renewing SVG FLOW SIM for one week when we only have one day left here. She will use hers today, I’ll use mine tomorrow. But there is only one thing to report…

Hot, sunny. Mayreau is not very far so we decide to just motor there. That is pretty common around here. We’re off early as it is best to get there early. We are so early in fact (well before 9 am), we’re concerned no one will have left yet to get a good spot! But…

Hot, sunny. Happy Birthday Earl. Miss you. Nice anchorage last night, not too rough and a good breeze. Which is good cuz we have an ugly problem to work on today. I call Gazimo early, he says meet me at the dinghy dock in 20 minutes. Wow, wasn’t expecting that. Three sh*tty hours later we…

Hot, sunny. Heading south again. The winds are pretty favourable although a little too far south to make it as downwind as I would like. The trick is to leave earlier because the winds shift south later in the day. Still we hum along at about 6 kts and have a pretty enjoyable sail. Don’t…

Sunny, hot. We’re parked probably a little farther away than I’d like, opposite the south end of Princess Margaret beach. It’s pretty windy and rocky here, but the winds are fresh and it’s cool. The next few days are pretty relaxed. Turns out NOT going to St. Lucia has taken a load off our minds…
