We found Wayne.

In San Juan. We made the connection and arrived St Lucia as planned and headed straight to the hotel and the over to Oceans bar for a quick drink after midnight. Pretty much had the place to ourselves. The marina is pretty empty.

Woke up pretty early when the sun started coming through the hotel windows and I set off to find the boat dragging one of the suitcases of boat stuff with me.

Found the shack in the yard and open her up and unloaded a bunch of stuff. Back to the hotel @ 8am for breakfast with the rest of the crew. And then back to the boat to put it all back together. Christine handled the inside and Wayne and I the outside. We were pretty well done by noon then putzed around doing some random projects and when it was time for beer we called it quits and headed to the conscience store and then to the hotel pool.

Hung out there for awhile then went over to the marina and chatted with the guys who fixed the inverter and got a little nervous that even if the part we are waiting on got in on friday it wouldn’t get out of customs till Monday. So we had another beer and walked around the west marine store to see if there was something that we couldn’t live without.

It was getting close to Jamie’s arrival so Christine went back to the hotel to meet her and Wayne and I went to Mikes bar to wait for them. Her flight was uneventful. Had a couple rounds watching the pirate boat load up with tourists for a sunset cruise.

Took the ferry (manual rope barge thingy) back to the marina for a bite to eat at a place that serves pretty good Rotti. We figured a nap was going to be necessary to make the Friday night jump up. So we went to catch up on some sleep. Set the alarm for a 2 hour nap. And wouldn’t cha know it. It’s 6am the next morning. Guess we missed the jump up. 🙂

We did get confirmation that the part was at the FedEx office but haven’t heard if it made it through customs to get installed today. Fingers are crossed.
