We have had a busy few days. We sailed up to Rodney Bay in torrential rain,4" in 4 hours! It was pretty bad visibility but we got into the bay eventually and were happy to tie up safely. The next day the auto helm computer was collected from customs and fitted and it now all works again so we were able to get back to Marigot. The Prime Minister still hasn't signed our land licence so we are still waiting to start clearing the land. We have had lots of mail, mostly Christmas cards. The mail seems to take a month over the Christmas period and about 2 weeks the rest of the time. We are now on a berth in the new Discovery complex and have paid our fees for a year. This entitles us to use their facilities, including two pools, gym and spa. I have only been to the pool as everything else is very expensive. The long promised bakery in marina village has opened and is fantastic but it will b e a few weeks yet before the supermarket and bank open. Once that happens life will be very simple.
Last night we went to our local bar/restaurant for their Tuesday night live music. It really is a fun night, same band,same songs ,same people! We all end up dancing and drinking too much rum or beer but it is a good night for twenty pounds. Its a night in tonight, that's the plan anyway. We are reading more now than ever before so we will have a good supply of reading material to swap when visitors arrive.
When we get back to the marina we are promised a trip around a hue 160" luxury yacht. They owe us a favour as there crew members were very rowdy the other night and kept us lifers awake! They are also letting us hook up to their super fast WIFI connection once they let us know the code. So maybe the next missive will be courtesy of Callisto. Bye for now and love to all.
