Today the gelcoat guy came to patch a small scratch on Dignity’s side. I must admit I had forgotten to check this and didn’t realize the work was outstanding. It takes time to repair so we’re not able to leave Nanny Cay today. We have been given tonight to stay gratis to make up for this. This won’t change our planned arrival in St Martin on Monday. Tomorrow we’ll sail to The Baths where we’ll moor on one of the day buoys there. Early evening, sometime between 5 and 6 we’ll let go and head through the gap called Round Rock Passage at the south end of Virgin Gorda and commence our overnight motorsail to St Martin.
One mystery uncovered was that the champagne was from CatCo. Big thanks to them. We sat on the foredeck last night with fried egg sandwiches and champagne. One new mystery is where the new suntan lotion went. It has gone. I was the last one to use it so Helen is not pleased with me.
Today I did some paperwork. I’ve fitted the genaker gear on the bowsprit and cleaned/installed the speed log. Later we must ready the sail. I will also take a look at the stern light which has been reported as working intermittently.
Hi Steve & Helen
Congratulations nearly on your way……have a safe trip to St Martin.
