Afloat

Reduit Beach life


'NADA' was launched on Friday, the 5th of November and we anchored in the clean water in front of the Reduit Beach.
We picked up the repaired genoa, the dodger is still in the works.
The big Atlantic surf is rocking us slowly. We could move to better sheltered area and risk loosing the Internet connection.
With not much hope I tried to fish at night. We are to close to the sandy shore and to far from the rocks.
Once a day we dinghy to the village to stretch our legs and to get supplies.
There is still no running water on St. Lucia, to repair the collapsed dam will take another month, we were told. The bridges were rebuilt to connect Rodney Bay with the Capital Castries and other towns. Life goes on.
