On the way back from the supermarket Deb (Bay Pelican) and Marsha (Crusader) stopped us and said it looked as though I could do with a break, so would I like to join the ladies for lunch at the Bay Garden Hotel? Just let Marsha know by radio so that she could adjust the numbers, and remember to bring my swimsuit for afterwards.
So I arranged a lift with Pat and Maria and had a fantastic time! 14 or so ladies from the anchored yachts and those in the marina plus a few who were just out for the season. Marsha says the faces change each week—apart from the few regulars. So cocktails and chat first, then sit down to lunch,& more to drink, followed by chilling out in the pool, while the more active decided to learn the quick step and salsa. Danielle (St Lucia Sailing Club) made an announcement about the Commodores Barefoot Ball on Saturday at the St Lucia Sailing Club. We decided to go at the last minute and were pleased that we did, the food was all home cooked and delicious! Dancing afterwards and we even got a lift home because the heavens had opened while we were eating.( Many thanks Daphne & David)
Various people have had their boats hauled out this week and some have flown home for the summer so the faces had changed at the Ladies lunch. I said that I would maybe see them again next year as we were leaving for Martinique the next day(24th Mar).
Yes unbelievably Vincent came back and traced the Engine problem to a faulty lead which was not delivering sufficient power for the starter. He remedied it by putting a relay in which seems to have cured the problem! (the jury is still out until it’s been tested under ‘conditions’)
We completed out final evening by going along to Happy Hour at the H2 '0' bar with Gary and Marie (they have a Lagoon Cat called Mai Tai—named after a cocktail) and then for a meal at the Thai Restaurant.
