Having arrived in St Lucia in the early hours of thursday morning with some of the bars still open we escaped from the Betty Ford clinic only to crash at the first bend about two hours later,mind you we were going fairly hard at it.
The rest of the day was spent getting our land legs back(excuse).One taxidriver when asked about drink driving said "no problem you can drink 15 gallons if you like".
The facilities in the marina and the arc and marina staff are exellent with a lovely atmosphere in the bars and resturants.
We were boat number 89 to cross the line which we are delighted with considering about 25 were in the racing division mind you when the handicaps and the motoring penalties are applied things will probably change.
Still more boats coming in every day and some damage reported so maybe we got off light with our small problems.
We are starting to make a sort of a plan to make a trip to some of the islands to the south,ST Vincent, Tobago etc so as j&j can see something of the area before they go home on the 20th
Keeping in touch,
