It Floats

Wayne, Jamie and I arrived to a sparkly clean boat and a very dirty Matt!  He had been working on boat projects and intended on showering before we arrived but the showers at the marina were closed due to “cleaning” for over 2 hours (evidently boat people are dirty).

He eventually got cleaned up while I unpacked and made the boat more presentable. We hit some yummy Roti and ribs for dinner and Jamie had shrimp and rice. Of course Pitons (beer) and Shandi (Christine’s beverage w/ 1.5% alcohol) were in order.

Headed back to boat where Matt and Wayne decided to make Merry until the wee hours of the night making what we lovingly refer to as “Donald drinks”.

It made for a late start on Sunday but after some last minute boat projects–Wayne and Jamie were still out so Matt and I cleared out of St Lucia, settled up at the marina and got some pastries for the sleepy heads.

After everyone was up we headed to the large and plentiful IGA grocery store–by dingy. Such a great store in the islands!!  $1800+ later (EC not US) and we pushed our two shopping carts down the road to the dingy dock.  Not something you’d see in the states.

After unloading and putting away our stash we cast away the lines and Sugar Shack motored away to Soufferie a small town between the Pitons.

A short 3 hour jaunt around the island and we met up with “One Love” our boat boy to help with the moorings.

Kicked back and watched the gorgeous sunset. Matt made kicken chicken and mango rice with salad.

Perfect healing.  Internet is weak. Photos to come soon
