Resolute of Thames - NADA!



Still no wind! We managed to avoid running the engine until about 0600 this morning when we had completely stopped. Then the fan belt broke and Skipper had to put on a new one. Much swearing and sweating and all careful stowage decimated in order to find spares and tools turning 41 foot home to 41 foot shed in 5 minutes flat! By the time he had fixed it the wind had returned albeit SE but we will take whatever is on offer even if it means a beat to St Lucia! 

From our radio talk this morning everyone else is 'in the same boat' and feeling rather frustrated. At least we have no deadlines to meet until 21st December when family arrive in St Lucia and we have oodles of supplies of everything. There are much worse places to be marooned...mustn't grumble! From the forecast it looks as though this will be the only game in town for the next few days before the tradewinds re-establish themselves so best get used to it.
