Happy Christmas one and all.
After a good round of Christmas parties, and a lesurely mini-refit, RAPAREE is off again today on another little ramble. This time southward towards Grenada but with possible stops at St Vincent and the Grenadines en route. New crew is Geoff Bell, plus his son Andrew, and daughtter Charlotte.
Attended amazing Christmas eve Vigil/Mass thingie with Caribbean gospel music in large corrugated church in nearby village of Gros Islet. Service lasted about 4 hours and took a lot of stamina but certainly put us in the Christmas spirit. Great day out by dinghy on Christmas day to nearby beach hotel where we and 6 other boats had booked in for their all day buffet, Sun, sand, santa, and turkey with papaya.
Plan is to get away tomorrow to head southwards towards the Grenadines or Grenada. Weather has been very changeable and there is some big wind coming up so not sure where we'll be for New Year. Hopefully somewhere sheltered from the forecast 3 metre swell.
Boat rather chaotic and full of junk, so no change there.
Regards and Happy Christmas and New Year to one and all.
