We are now legal aliens. We have documents signed by every man and his dog and land registry deeds to say we own the land. This has been an eight and a half month process, which many say has been surprisingly short, even though all the information advertised says it takes about eight weeks or so!
Jeff continues coming back to the boat each night caked in cement; he really is looking forward to the wood phase to begin. Last week finished off most of the block work, this week it will be casting pillars and putting up the forming for the big cast of the ground floor, which may happen the week after next.
Fi arrived on Tuesday with our friend Tess from Sutton Benger. They have spent there time so far laying by the pool, swimming and relaxing. They have become honorary members of the sundowners club and have adapted to the laid back way of life very easily. We were up early yesterday to go to market, have breakfast at Rodney Bay and do a big super market shop. After such activity they needed to retire to the pool for the afternoon and sleep again.
Today we are off sailing to the Two Pitons, so there is a flurry of activity down below to get the boat ready for sailing. This takes a lot longer to do when the boat has been used primarily as living quarters, so no doubt as we sail along we will find things that haven’t been stowed away properly, normally it is the fruit bowl and worst of all would be a bottle of oil.
We have not been too active on the photo scene this week but will try harder for next week.
