| Marigot Bay...'Persephone' is in the center of the anchorage. |
This is just a quick update on what's going on here. Persephone spent 3 nights in Marigot Bay, St. Lucia; one of our favorite anchorages. When we arrived, several of the 'boat boys' welcomed us back to the Bay...guess we have become 'regulars'.
On Sunday, we moved up to Rodney Bay; only eight miles from Marigot. We dragged a fishing line with only a single hit, but the fish was not hooked....hate it when that happens !
Persephone, for the first time in 6 months, went into a marina. This is a rare occurrence due to the cost, noise and lack of privacy. But, the batteries on Persephone needed to be equalized; which can only be done efficiently with shore power. The other treat of being in a marina is being able to take a LONG shower ashore with limitless water. Thinking back, I haven't taken a shower ashore since being in New England a year ago !! It was luxurious !!
Our friend Mike arrives today from the States. We are picking him up at the airport (1 1/2 hours away) in the early afternoon. The taxi fare is approximately $100.00 US one way !! NO WAY ! So, we are going to take a bus from here to Castries (St. Lucia's capital) at a cost of $3.50 EC ($1.30 US) and then transfer to Vieux Fort which is located at the opposite end of the island from Rodney Bay. (Cost: appx $7.00 EC or $2.60 US) Less than $4 US sounds a lot better than $100....we will let you know how we make out.....
Busing our way across St. Lucia.... THE CREW
