Back on St.Lucia

Busy beach
My last catch
Breakfast time
Make friends with Ricky, your boat is in his hands
'Nada'
Sunset in the marina
'Nada' crew
'Nada's home port
There is always some excitement in coming back here, the marina and the boat yard crew greeting us as old friends, then finding out, which of our sailing acquaintances are still under sails and whose boats are already resting on the boat yard.
We had a good sailing season with enough wind and few storms.
We missed our 'Laima' sailing friends, maybe next season we will team up again.
As we are getting 'Nada' ready to be hulled out, we are anxious to see our children and grandchildren, hug them and hold them. But we are already spreading the charts on the table, excitedly making plans for the next season. The sailing lifestyle agrees with us. Fighting the wrong wind, enjoying the right ones, looking for new anchorages, fishing, eating tropical fruits and vegetables.
The most importent of all, how much we depend on each other as team mates and partners, and how much we learned to listen. After all, there is only one captain on each vessel, and one admiral standing next to him.
THE END
