St Lucia

Wednesday 11th January

Have been trying to upload some photographs with limited success!! So thought I better let you know where we are and what is happening with us.

Since our last post of we sailed to South to Bequia which is a small Island South of St Vincent, not even named on most large scale charts and here we celebrated New Year. We anchored in Admiralty Bay and were entertained by a spectacular display of fireworks from the harbour. We then moved around the Island to Friendship Bay where the Christmas presents were tried and found to be working, have underwater photographs of the snorklers! Then as planned back to St Lucia in time for Maris and Sue to leave for the UK.
Chris and I had a couple of days in Vieux Fort and then a cracking sail back to Rodney Bay where we are waiting for the repairs to the wind generator. Yesterday we took a tour of the island in company of friends we made during the Arc trip, a very good day, hopefully the repairs will be completed by the weekend and then we move North to Martinique and beyond.
As you can guess we have no firm plans yet but were somewhat surprised to realise on 8th Janaury, that we have been away from home for six months and while I am missing family & friends we are not missing the winter weather you are experiencing. So while the adventure continues for us, please all keep warm and well.
