I awoke as usual and spent some time getting the dinghy outboard back on the dinghy without banging up the boat, then installing all the other accoutrements such as gas tank, seat, gas lines, etc. Once I finished I weighed anchor and motor sailed to Spanish Town and cleared in at the ferry terminal, they charged $16 for out-of-hours clearing and then the usual $10 for entry and I once again had to fill out all sorts of forms, making me wish for the simple French procedures despite their tortuous keyboard layout. I provisioned a bit at the grocery store then went back to the boat and motored to my usual anchorage off Prickly Pear and then lost all energy and didn’t do any of the tasks I had set out to do. Once the sun set I zipped the dinghy across to to Saba Rock and had a couple of drinks and their delicious beef tacos for dinner and was surprised when I was a approached by someone who I didn’t recognize who did say that he knew me… It took a bit of gear shifting but it turned out to be an acquaintance from an internet forum and he is also the current holder of a number of original Jeanneau plates and I’ll have to ransom those sometime by a generous supply of beverages.
