After Some Technical Difficulties We're Back!

All we did was update the App and boom we couldn't access our blog anymore. Obviously that has been overcome!

First from our note pad:

Views from the Bay
We are back in the anchorage after resolving our windless anchoring issues. It was a simple wiring problem and finally a quick and inexpensive fix. Brian also inspected wiring and tried to resolve our "engine noise" problem to no avail. But when we started the engine and turned on the instruments they worked. Who knows what he touched just right. When we came back we anchored in a new spot a little closer to the area beside Pigeon Island . It was a lovely quiet spot not like the party in front of Sandals. But for our big news we are finally a sailing vessel. We put the sails up and went for a sail on Friday morning. Peace and Plenty sailed beautifully.....now the crew has a few things to learn. I always pull in the jib at home but I sure couldn't on this boat. A two speed winch is a new experience too. Everything is just so much bigger. We will go out again today and practice some more.
Yesterday was a busy day in the anchorage with Sandals the parasails, jet skis, little Hobie cats are everywhere. There hasn't been any good snorkelling yet . The first sailboat in the ARC arrived and about 200 more will follow over the next ten days or so. Rodney Bay will become a very busy place with music and parties all along the waterfront.
The two pictures of the sky were taken back to back from each side of the boat. It rained really hard just shortly after. You can often look over towards the mountains and see it raining and none where we are.
