We had a nice, uneventful flight from Miami to Maurice Bishop Airport yesterday. We’re staying at an apartment I found on AirBnB, not far from Spice Island Marine; we wandered over to Schwarma King in the edge of the Container Park (where we went after for ice cream and a very good rum shot) and then crashed. This morning we made our way (in a very nice new rental SUV) to Spice Island and Raconteur. She is in remarkably good shape (bottom painting was in progress); we got a few first chores done, in progress, or ordered. Dinner tonight at Aziz (delicious); off to find a water leak tomorrow morning, and to continue the chores. We will hope to splash by the middle of next week, to find out what else needs doing, and then to make an actual plan for the first northbound leg. We have to be back in SoFla by the end of the month, as we will do a quick trip to Europe in early April, so we will have to find a place to leave her (again). If (still a big if) we decide to join the Salty Dawg Homebound rally, they are scheduled with a tentative start of 10 May from Antigua or the Virgins and a target of the US east coast - 10-14 days, plus extra to reach New England. The skipper rightly says we don't really have a plan at all yet - just some ideas.
