This is to be my last day in St. Maarten for a while so there was a lot to do in between lazy sessions on deck just doing nothing. After the morning VHF session Mark from Our Life at Sea came by to say hello, then I went to Lagoonies for an extended breakfast but wasn’t able to connect to the internet. I talked with an Australian couple on the boat Alexes, a Taswell 56, and offered to help make a Dyneema line in exchange for getting David’s assistance with raising my outboard and dinghy aboard the boat in the late afternoon. The deal was consummated and I made up the line as specified; David and Jenny came by early and helped me with the storage work and subsequently went ashore for happy hour drinks. They returned and I had some dinner and then waited for someone to depart the dock in a dinghy in order to bring me back to Zanshin I. After a while I found a ride and returned home, finishing a bit of preparation work in the cockpit and then watched part of a movie before retiring for the night.
