We haven’t left Tyrell Bay yet. The work on our headsail is taking longer than expected. While the cloth is largely fine, a lot of the stitching has deteriorated in the sun. This was work we were planning to have done at the same time as having the bottom painted in a couple of months time so the only effect has been to bring it in a couple of months and to hang around here reading books. Hard life.
This does affect our near term plans. We’re not aiming to be in Bequia for our anniversary on Saturday any more. If the sail is ready this morning and the wind allows us to hoist it we’ll sail round to Petit Martinique this afternoon and anchor there overnight. We’ll do some shopping and refueling there on Saturday then returning to Carriacou on Saturday afternoon. We’ve been recommended a number of times to go to the Round House in Bogle, Carriacou for dinner on Saturday.
We did get out yesterday to visit the mangroves nearby. It made for an interesting break. At one point the waters were crystal clear and we could see many fish swimming below. A couple of boats had tied up in there for summer as well as there being a couple of old wrecks. At times we turned off the outboard and listened to the silence.
