Today was mainly a boat day for us.\u00a0 First order of the day I went ashore and took the hire car back.\u00a0 One the back I found a shop with fishing supplies and bought the remaining pieces I need for my hand trolling line.\u00a0 Back on the boat I made up my hand reel and prepared four lures with wire leaders.\u00a0 We’re now ready to go.\u00a0 When we head off for Martinique within a week, we expect, we’ll throw this out and see what happens.\u00a0 Who knows.<\/p>\n

Other shipboard tasks: Helen waxed the bimini, did the washing and sorted out storage ready for our visitors.\u00a0 I checked out the dive gear and scraped the port hull.\u00a0 I’ve picked up an itchy rash on my neck presumably from some sea critter that objected to being scraped off it’s home.\u00a0 Starboard hull gets done tomorrow.<\/p>\n

I also finally got hold of some software that allows me to convert the track files from my chart plotter.\u00a0 Unfortunately I discovered I haven’t been copying them over to my PC properly so I’ve lost our tracks from late November to late December.\u00a0 At some point I’ll organize the tracks by island and publish them on the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
