The view from the top of our lot.
I’m Back!
Mission completed, we now have a container full of pool furniture, bedroom furniture, gas range cooker, bedding and sheets. I also shopped for light fittings, electrical stuff and drill bits. These bits I secreted on my person or in my bags and got through customs with much ease and smiling. When asked what was in my large holdalls I just said it was boat spares and he seemed happy enough with that.
I was very keen to see how much had been done on the house whilst I was away and I wasn’t disappointed at the progress. We now have an area for a kitchen, stairs down to land level, walls going up where a downstairs loo will be and also a study area. The surroundings have greened up considerably since the start of the rain and everywhere is getting back to lush St Lucia.
When I first got back to the boat there was a beautiful flower arrangement there to welcome me home, I think I must have been missed
It is always important to stay up as long as possible when you first arrive from the UK flight, so we went off to Chateau Mygo for drinks then dinner and I did really well until I was told to get my head of the bar and stop snoring. We were in bed by 10 pm and I slept through until 9am.
We were up on the plot again this morning so I could get a closer look at everything. It really is quite exciting to see the whole thing grow and take shape, I hope I don’t get too impatient for it to be finished as we are a long way off yet.
This afternoon we are sailing up to Rodney Bay with Doreen and Truls so we can have dinner there, stay the night and then have a days sailing tomorrow.
The weather is changeable but remains hot and steamy between the showers. It is also quite breezy at the moment and the seas are big. All this will settle down before the week is out and certainly before the next blog is written.
