Still at Rodney Bay Marina, St Lucia, getting through the post-T/A job list. David Mac (new grandfather as of this AM) leaves tomorrow so we'll have a farewell curry tonght. Geoff Bell and son and daughter join Friday night. Decision time whether to go to sea or leave it until after Christmas when all the pzazz has died down a bit. Weather outside boisterous, squally, and lumpy, but at least the wet bits are warm. Need to move on soon as I'm getting bored by jobs and am developing marina fever. A Rasta man has come to service the fridge and a bloke in a boat made of coconuts has take away my laundry. You have to LOVE Bob Marley to live here. He joins you every morning at 0700.
Its weird hearing carols and (seeing Santa Claus and Christmas trees here when its 36 degrees outside!
Not decided on mid Jan onwards leg yet. Laying up and flying home is a possibility, with a return in early Spring to sail home. This is because I have not as yet got any crew, and solo coral hopping is a bit dodgy, and also a bit depressing I should imagine.
Anyway, happy Christmas one and all.

Hi Mike, Hope you enjoyed your Christmas in Rodney Bay. I understand Geoff and Ann are still there fixing Nyda. Fairly mild Christmas here and managed to get out in my boat and moved it into the Haven Marina for the remainder of the winter. I am thinking about coming out to the Caribbean in mid Feb with Maria. Do you know where you might be by then?Graham
