We're having a great time with Quinn, here surveying Rodney Bay from the fort on Pigeon Island. Roni has offically retired from all crew work, with Quinn at the helm and James taking orders. We'll head off to Bequia at first light Saturday morning.

Thhirty-four years ago we were speeding down the highway in a VW van, no phone communication in the area, motor making unhappy sounds. We were rushing to catch Quinn's first appearance, and of course, we were a bit late. Times haven't changed that much. We are heading out tomorrow, excited about Quinn's arrival in St. Lucia on Tuesday. James is fiddling with a mechanica /electrical problem and again, I can't wait until our son gets here!

We're sitting here waiting for the weather to change our landscape into Caribbean blue , palm trees and sunshine, just like in the brochures. James is working on repairs. . . .watermaker pump, head, hatch, etc., Today the sea gods claimed two pair of glasses and snatched the key to the lock that still held our kayak to the dock. Fortunately, Kay, from Finnesteere, who had gone for a short hike with me, was quick to borrow a mask from someone on the dock, and I was able to grab the key back from the greedy god. This afternoon, a glass of wine and a good book sounds wonderful.
