rounded the island,was met by the two huge rocky pinnacles called the
pytons and an hour later pulled in at the Moorings Base in Marigot to
get a last few odds and ends,some extra LPG just in case and had a meal
at the local reatuarant.At 6 pm our time we were on our way again and
expect to arrive at St.Maarten on Saturday morning and are considering
spending a few hours there to clean the boat and time our arrival at
Tortola for early Sunday morning.
It was a first time for Malcolm to get a feel of the Caribbean and what
better place than at St.Lucia.Malcolm and I enjoyed some fish and chips
and Gareth had chicken and chips.We were hoping to get pizza but the
restaurant only starts serving pizza after 6 pm and we could not wait
till then.Things to do,places to go,deadlines to meet.
Outside the nearly full moon is cloaking the islands and water around us
in soft white.From here to Tortola we will have land in view at all
times,a sign that this journey is coming to an end.But we still have our
final 300 nm to go before reaching our final destination and will only
lay tools down once we are tied up,signed over and ready to fly back to
South Africa.
We would have made it in time for flying out on Monday morning but now
have an extra day to clean and shine before handing over.It is also our
way of saying thanks to Synchronicity for behaving like the star she
turned out to be and for getting us here safe and sound.We will keep you
posted to the end.
