We splashed on Friday without problem but with the usual last minute flurry of activities like re-tensioning the rigging. We anchored a short distance away in Prickly Bay, as we had doubts about our outboard engine (there had been no mechanic available to service it). Though running, it was spewing gas at a great rate- time for rowing, not a problem with our little Walker Bay dinghy. On Saturday we rowed to customs, dropped the engine for repair, provisioned the boat, then rowed back for some pizza and rum punch in the evening.
Sunday the weather turned nicer, still blustery but no more rain squalls, and we had our first swim in tropical waters, delightful as always from the stern. Susan restarted cooking our Caribbean repertoire, with a Callaloo Soup.
We are still sorting, cleaning, and getting adjusted to the permanent roll of Prickly Bay - the landlubber will be out of us in a few bruises.
