Hi
Everyone,
Well
I have been having usual trouble with internet here in Clark Courts
Bay, IE:- none! and again its a dingy ride to the nearest place where
I can plug in and use the computer.
I
have managed to work out how to charge the battery separate from the
computer, so now when power goes out I no longer lose everything I
have written or used, as the battery takes over again, at long long
last! So thanks to Rowan for getting the new batt to me.
Updates
follow with I hope pictures.

First
off 2 0f 52 pictures from a guy named Tim who took them at the
regatta in Carriacou, he met me here and gave me all of them. Also 2
I took going round a very scary island reef during the racing.

then round to Clark Courts Bay. Where I still am at present.

I
tried to haul out here for a couple of days but the new shipyard was
full with no chance until maybe October or later. 1 pic of early
evening.
I
then decided I just had to address the fresh water tank bad smell
that has returned, even after all the work I did too it in St Martin.
I could not check the tank interior as there was no inspection hatch
fitted when I had it made, so I am to blame for that. It had to come
out then and have an inspection hatch retro fitted, that meant major
disruption to my blinking bed! Everything had to come out of the fwd
cabin and be put somewhere else! and of course there is nowhere else
to put it, so it was put everywhere else at complete random! Leaving
me a tiny space to live correction EXIST
in!
Following
pics of the work which I didn't finish till middle of October! Other
reasons applied to that as well which follow after pics

So
on Sunday morning 1st
October, I got a call from Susie on 'Spirited Lady'. Her crew to
help take her boat to Trinidad, for a booked haul out at 'Motor Boats
Marina' on Monday morning, had failed to turn up! I had said that if
that happened I would go with her instead. She had me signed on her
crew list and be her crew by lunch time! We then had a roast Sunday
lunch in 'Taffy's Bar' 'Woburn Bay' then back to her boat in 'Port
Louie Marina' in St Georges Harbour, to get the boat ready hoping to
leave at about 6 pm. We left closer to 7pm put the sails up and went
to Trinidad!
We
arrived approx 0930hrs Monday morning, the yard had the travel lift
ready and straight in, done and dusted on the hard by 1030hrs. I
spent a week there, and as Susie had hired a car she took the dogs
and me on a tour of the Islands North Coast and the beaches, Wow!
Following the pics of that.
