A Sail down the Coast

We up anchored on Friday from Rodney Bay and sailed down the coast to Marigot Bay. It was about an hour and a half of delightful sailing jib and triple reefed main with wind off the aft port quarter.I had made all the necessary adjustments inside in case we took in any water but with the seas and the tack it was not needed.... But better safe than sorry. At Marigot Bay you take a mooring ball and Laurie was able to set that up and we rafted off the side. We were able to step from boat to boat and made for easy visiting. When we were all set up the boat boy announced he had given us the wrong ball and we would have to move. Laurie very carefully maneuvered us still attached to another spot in the tight bay. We took the dinghy for a very short ride into see the touristy shops and a nice dinner. The next morning we set sail for the Pitons another short sail. Again another mooring ball but one each this time. We are in an area where Dawn and Laurie took us on our first trip to St Lucia in 2004 and it is the best snorkelling spot I have ever seen. We are about fifty feet off the shore and you can snorkel up and down the shore with the Pitons on the other side. Paradise!! We have decided to stay here an extra night and go back to Rodney Bay on Christmas Eve and spend Christmas Day lazing around Val and Ricks pool before our dinner.
Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season. It would seem we all survived the " End of the World" but with the very sporadic news we hear we never know.
