Tuesday 29th January
Doing last bits of cleaning and packing.
We have spent the last week sorting out our hurricane season marina – we are
booked into Spice Island Marina, which is a number 1 bus ride from here.
The bus system is good, all small mini buses which run frequently and will stop
anywhere. They have a driver and the chap who operates the sliding
passenger door and encourages any pedestrians to use the bus.
We have been into St Georges and bumped into our
neighbours in the marina and had lunch with them. We have also met Phil
who was on the SSB course with us and is here as the skipper on a Joint
Services Training ship. Also “Finnrose” managed to make it down here and
we spent a nice evening with them.
On Saturday we went with “Henri’s Safari” to the
Seven Sisters waterfalls in the middle of the island. This involved quite
a muddy walk up and down the mountain to the falls. We then continued up
to a higher fall where access was via part of the waterfall – ended up with wet
feet and shorts but worth it. On the way back there is a pig farm by a
stream and the farmer cleans shoes for a small fee. He was very keen for
us to go and look at his pigs!
We fly home tomorrow and will be back out on
March 20th until the end of May – we will probably see how far north we can get
through the islands. |
