Aboard Dignity (Lagoon 420) Blog

Today I have been playing around with Google Picasa picture gallery. Some great features. As of now I am uploading the majority of our pictures. You can see a mini slide show and link to the main gallery from my Gato Chateau log. I’ve had to break it down into three separate weeks due to a limitation of 500 pics per album. If they’re not all there, try again later.

Dignity arrived in Nanny Cay yesterday. Over the weekend the delivery crew will be cleaning her up following the Atlantic passage and handing her over to CatCo. CatoCo will then inspect her for any issues as well as receive a report from the captain. Any issues will be dealt with through the manufacturer. At that point the warranty begins.

Now begins the long wait until February which represents our next chance to see her. The urge to squeeze in a visit before then is tremendous. Neither of us have much time left this year so a visit would be short and wouldn’t buy us much. Better we go in February when we can spend a whole week checking her out.

Now look at the follow pic from Nanny Cay’s webcam this morning. CatCo have two 420s in their fleet at this point, Dignity and Knot on Call. I have circled two 420s on this picture in the CatCo area of the marina. I know Dignity has not had her lazy stack fitted so that rules out the 420 circled in blue. That means the one circled in green could well be Dignity. Cool.

Would have been cool to see Dignity’s latest position. Today, we should have seen her crossing the Anegada passage but I didn’t get the uplink. By now she should be settled down in Virgin Gorda.

Very nearly there.  By tomorrow afternoon, Dignity should be settled into Virgin Gorda.  Next day Nanny Cay.

I spoke to CatCo on Friday. The favourite option for the skippers is to check in to the BVIs in Virgin Gorda then head to Nanny Cay the following day. So we can now expect Dignity to arrive in VG on the 27^th and Nanny Cay on the 28^th.

In the meantime I have been editing and uploading movies taken on the video camera and still cameras to YouTube then providing links from this site. Check them out – not all are uploaded yet but a few are available.
