Happy Birthday T and Aunt Nancy!

We are still here in Bequia, being lazy and trying to get the energy to sail to other places in the Grenadines. Our plan is to leave tomorrow for Canouan, then on to Mayreau, Tobago Cays and Union Island. Yesterday, while scrubbing the algae off the boot stripe of the boat (the painted stripes just above the water line on all boats), Ed discovered a few blisters where the boat seems to stay submerged. This is not good news because we'll have to haul the boat in order to repair the blisters. We'll also have to raise the water line since the only other option is to get rid of all our heavy shit which causes Skylark to be submerged below the boot stripe, and that apparently isn't happening. If it's not one thing, it's another. Just like owning an older house.
