St Lucia, Rodney Bay

14:05.398N 60:57.810W Tuesday 12th Jan Rodney Bay - St. Lucia We had a perfect sail across to
St.Lucia on a beam reach doing 7 knots! The islands are very close to one
another with just 33 miles from Martinique to St.Lucia. We dropped our anchor
at Pigeon Island in Rodney Bay where some of the other BWR yachts were already
anchored. We were all invited to Fai Tira for Rum Punch and Birthday cake to
celebrate Pete’s Birthday. A good night was had by all with Pete falling
asleep as usual, probably something to do with running out of punch and serving
up just rum! The next day after checking in
with customs the plan was to catch a bus into town. We were about to get on the
bus along with Mark and Chrissy when an official from the marina came running
across the road asking who the captain of Blue Magic was as the boat was
dragging its anchor. Mark and Chrissy raced back in their dinghy. Luckily the
boat was dragging slowly, the boat behind had let some more chain out while
Bill from Camomile was holding Blue Magic off with his dinghy . We abandoned
our trip into town and stayed close to the marina for the rest of the day. In
the evening we went ashore for a fabulous Thai meal. We are all having a few incidents
that are keeping us on our toes! We have a few clubs running now.
