It's 03.00 here. I'm up for anchor watch and tea, It's blowing Force 6 and has been for about 9 hours.
So the wind generator has been very busy and we used the power to fill the water tanks.
Yesterday morning we went by dinghy to the supermarket at bought lots as it was our last chance in the French Islands. In the afternoon we took the bus to Le Maison Cocoua (The Chocolate Museum).
A very interesting place with picturesque gardens and lectures on how coca is grown and made into chocolate. The bus did not stop for us so we hitched back and got the boat ready for sailing. We are hoping the wind drops in the next few hours or we may delay our departure until Sunday.
