Horrid Jobs and a Long Walk

We are still in the marina at Pointe a Pitre.
Yesterday morning I went snorkelling under the boat to check for damage.
The water in the marina was foul with poor visibility. I could see nothing round the keel or obscuring the depth gauge.
But I did find some scratching and scoring around the portside water line. So I guess we must have tangled with some debris the day before which upset the depth gauge.
We also tried to loosen the forestay to remove the bowsprit because it need modifying to fit the new larger furler. It was too difficult and will have to wait.
We walked 9km into town and back. It was very hot and a little disappointing.
We will probably head back to The Saintes tomorrow.
