We'd booked a place in the marina in Point a Pitre for a month beginning today. However, when we checked the weather two days ago the wind direction was more favourable to sail from Les Saintes to Point a Pitre yesterday than today so we came a day early and they had a spot for us. It helps when the dock master not only remembers your name he asks after the health of the cat! The first time we left here we went without Polly. The little madame had jumped onto the boat next to us and we'd gone 100m before I realised she wasn't on board. Dock master Jean Marc took me back in his work boat to retrieve her and put us back on Jackster. We've had three more visits since then.
Last
night I had another birthday dinner. This time it was sushi at Quai
Ouest where, again, the owner and staff welcome us back by name. Do you
think we've spent too much time in one place?
I love sushi
We have made friends with a Swiss boat on the dock behind us. The boat is called Ocean Kid and Dad Bernhard has sailed with grown up son Thomas and daughter Anna across the Atlantic last month. Delightful people and we had drinks on their boat this evening.
I receive news Mum is out of hospital and back at the her nursing home but the outlook isn't positive.
