Yesterday we moved Dignity a short distance so we could spend Thursday and Friday nights on a mooring ball a little closer to the marina and shops in Jolly Harbour. The main benefit is that we don’t have to dinghy half a mile into wind into the channel from the anchorage.
These last two days are going to be a little slow. Yesterday the highlight was (depending on who you talk to) going out to eat. We ended up going to a local pizza parlour outside of the marina and immediate tourist area. This meant we could eat/drink more and pay less. If I read the mood right, the boys were in favour and the girls not. We had a good time and it was nice to chat with the family all together. This was mainly due to the amount of time we had to wait for the food. It was good all the same.
Last night and this morning it has been raining quite hard. A lot that was left outside got wet. Worse still, the forecasts for the next three days shows a lot of rain. GO AWAY. The upside is that Dignity is getting a nice wash.
Tomorrow – everyone flies home. As I’ve said, we’re not looking forward to this. I think the kids are in different ways itching to get back to their lives. On the flip side this lets Helen and I free to head onwards. We’ve been reading up on Guadeloupe and are very much looking forward to visiting this next set of islands. We’re likely to be there all the way to Feb 25 as this is when Carnival culminates. We must make sure we’re in Point a Pitre or Basse Terre for that.
