May 5
The last week as been good but with out much excitement. We worked on our projects and they are coming along. I did learn that when we were in St. Thomas there was a big fire at one of the local grocery stores in Road Town. It was one of the cheapest stores around so everyone is upset about it. I am sorry that I missed as I would have liked to have seen the "boys" in action. A lot of boats left out of here (Soper's Hole) the other day all heading to Bermuda in the Anlantic Cup race/rally. You can tell the season is coming to a close as there are fewer boats here everyday it seems. I will miss watching all the charter boats come racing into the harbors in the afternoon each trying to get a mooring ball before they are all taken. It really is a hoot to watch as you can see them looking at each other and trying to get to one first then watching them try to pick up the mooring ball is even more fun. We went over to St Johns on Saturday to check our mail and pick up some packages. It was a quick trip over and back. Round trip was about 3 � hours with a nice sail over. Strange taking 3 hours to go check your mail, but that is life on a boat.
