An old favourite with a Bequia twist ......BLT

We left the boat for a walk up to Fort Hamilton (just a battery really). Not a very long walk but very steep in places. The view from the top is always amazing. We returned to the bottom where we had tied the dinghy to the dock at a restaurant, L'Auberge, where we of course rewarded ourselves with a cold beer. They specialize in lobster and had a huge tank on the lower level. Brian had fresh grilled tuna and it was delicious and I had a BLT ....bacon,lobster and tomato. Hard to find that at home. WOW it was amazing with huge chunks of lobster. Won't need a big dinner tonight. No table cloths but pretty fancy. 

Last night around 5:30 the winds shifted and a huge burst of wind hit us and set us practically spinning on our anchor. We did drag some and had a very uneasy night. We moved to a mooring ball first thing this morning after Brian swam around and inspected a few. We are in an area where it is convient for the workmen doing our canvas work and the davit installation but the holding isn't as good as on the beach side. The weather is supposed to be gusty for the next few days with 25 knot winds. We will rest much easier on the ball. 

No one here works on the weekend so we will not see anyone until Monday which is kind of nice. We are taking the weekend to do some walking and sight seeing. We spent Thursday afternoon trying to save us a few dollars. We are having the canvas strip on the jib replaced to match the new navy canvas. So with two seam rippers Brian and I sat with a huge sail filling the cockpit and picked out all the stitches. Miles and miles of thread I'm sure ..... three lines on zig zag stiches. Then there was the bits of threads left behind what a mess inside and out. The wind did a good job getting rid of most of it. 

So we are having fun and getting things done. 

Peace Out
