We are on anchor in Prickley Bay for a whole week now, and it is weird to stay in one place for so long. My feet are getting itchy, but that doesn`t sound appropriate anymore. I think my gills are getting dried up, my webs are stuck….we need to sail again!
We are busy on Catlyn,
doing the usual. Giving her a
vinegar bath inside, unpacking all the lockers and giving everything fresh air,
the boys servicing and cleaning the
engines, checking for rust.
It makes Catlyn a very lucky girl with all this pampering, maybe if we do it less or stop she will stop doing this to us. Spoiled girl! Just today I saw her beard starting to grow again on the rubber at the sugar scoop in the water of Grenada. I thought the water is going to be clean, but it is definitely not! It is definitely not a bay to anchor for a long time! But then again we are a bit spoiled with the cristal clear water of Tabago Cays etc.

We needed some fresh drinking water, although we make water
with our Little Wonder. We need to clean the filter every time, and we thought
it easier to get water from the Marina. We filled 20 gallons for 6 EC`s, not
too bad, but we couldn`t drink it! It tasted like water straight from a very
clean swimming pool, just cleaned with a tank of chlorine!

| Marco and Natasha |
Yacht Nauticat is close by, as well as a couple of other
South- African yachts. Natasha came over for a game of Monopoly, and ice cream
on the beach. We went to Tiki Bar to listen to the amazing sounds of new
Dimensions Steel Pan Band.
I stood there among them, in awe with the sounds of
the pans. We spend the evening chatting
and dancing away!
But we were itchy! We sailed to Secret Bay, Hog island for a Sunday on the beach.
We found the most authentic beach bar in the whole of our
travels, right on the beach. Loads of people, yachties and locals sheltered
under the leeking roof,
but no one seem to notice with the local rum flowing.
I am sure all the yachties enjoyed the fresh shower pouring down on us! The kids swam in the sea while the rain was pouring, chasing each other.
We slept in Secret bay for the night, but lifted anchor the
next morning to reach Prickley Bay,
where Marco can write his exams ( Maths).
