We stayed a board at the marina on the first night, had a light supper a few drinks and caught up. On Friday we took the dinghy into the lagoon shopped for provisions. Sticker shock hit them as our dollar is equal to 2 EC dollars and prices are very high here. A 6 roll pack of paper towels was over $30.00 EC and Vicki just about flipped. We had lunch at the mall at the food court. One of our favourite spots. We bought a large chicken dinner for two and shared and still had too big of a lunch, $28.00 EC for a lunch for two with two beers. It was so hot. And still that we allowed them to aclimatize by sitting around the pool and drinking appropriate beverages! Nearby in Gros Islet is a famous Jump Up (street party) with food and drinks and music LOUD music! We walked to that early and had a fun dinner at a beach BBQ fish bar (we had marlin, D&V had snapper, all soooo good). We met a few friends there and had a lot of laughs. Doug and Vicki are loving the life so far. We took a dock for two nights when they arrived and made it easier for settling in and getting to the jump up. On Sat morning the skies opened and it rained hard all day. We chased leaks ....ones that didn't show up in the first heavy rain. We had done a bit of laundry early in the day when we had access to lots of water on the dock and waited to hang it on the life lines. Vicki laughed at the whole procedure with the extra rinse cycle we called it. The showers just kept on going all day long. We moved out into the anchorage about noon and it just kept on raining. We spent a lovely afternoon playing dominoes. This morning we have everything on the life lines trying to dry out.
Today's plans are to walk Pidgeon Island and do some snorkelling. Tomorrow Monday we will head off to Martinique.
