Rodney Bay - St. Lucia

Friday 20th January

It's a strange feeling to be back in the Caribbean again, a place so familiar to us and yet everything feels new. In seven years a lot can change but really the underlying way of life is exactly the same and that's what we love. We haven't found a cruising community like this anywhere else in the world and we were welcomed back in with open arms.

Making the most of a Christmas present from Jimmy's mum we decided to Literally 'splash out' and spend a week in Rodney Bay marina and give Blue Moon some desperately needed TLC. In four days we had already used over 400 gallons of water as we scrubbed away the thick coat of Sahara dust we'd collected since Morocco. Luckily we were able to balance working on the boat with exploring the local area and celebrating our circumnavigation with good friends.
