What a way to make a vacation.

After lengthy plane delays in Miami we finally arrived about midnight. Everything closed at the hotel so we just sat in the swing on the veranda at the room to unwind.

Figured out how to work the air conditioning. Set if on arctic blast. That whole Celsius vs Fahrenheit thing. 17 Celsius is pretty cold, but slept through it.

Anxious or anticipation of a new place in the day light we got up and went exploring at 7am and found that everyone was a sleep.

The place comes with a friendly guard dog. Just pet Henry once and he’ll protect you. Not even the staff can approach us without Henry barking at em.

Found Justin and he took care of our ride to the boat yard. Just had to wait till the staff showed up. We finally got to the Grenada Marine around 9am and sugar shack was right where we left her. Looked good. Little dusty. But inside was pretty clean. So ’twas time to put the pieces back together.

New chain was installed. All 100 meters of it. So we promptly removed it so that we could mark the chain ever 10 meters do we know how deep the water is. Kidding. We need to make sure we set the scope or ratio of depth to length of chain deployed. Then put it all back away. The windless is acting up, seems to be over heating. Another project fig tomorrow.

With Christine’s help the mainsail is installed. Reefing lines yet to be run but at least it looks like a sailboat.

They were going to splash us today but since they hadn’t finished the wax Job. It got pushed. That and the 60 foot swan was itching to go.

We washed off the dirt on 1/2 the boat. Some days you wish for smaller things. Should be in the water tomorrow.

Off to dinner to celebrate all the hard work with some cold beverages.
