Almost Free

Eric and Brian spent 2 weeks in the shipyard and 2 weeks anchored in the bay in front of it.  Then, we came and spent another week here, 1 week in Prickly Bay and now we’re back.  The guys at the stainless steel shop are working over time.  They worked all weekend and it looks like they’ll be finished on Monday.  This bay has been like “home”.  We’ve gotten to know the local dogs, workers and other people working on their boats here, we attended the Christmas Party, and have been regular shoppers for the people who bring their vegetables from the mountains down to sell on Thursdays.  Last week one of the guys gave me these flowers, Merry Christmas.

With freedom so close we talked about what our next move may be.  Tuesday we’ll move back to Prickly Bay to celebrate Christmas, and spend the rest of the week there installing the equipment intended for this stainless steel rack we’ve been waiting for.  In Prickly Bay there is a good boat supply store as well has easy provisioning.  If everything goes well, maybe we’ll head north around Jan 1st and spend a week in Carriacou about 25 miles north of here.  Then when the weather is right make the two day trip to Martinique. Because of Topaz’s paperwork we have to skip St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Barbados.  We’re also planning to skip St. Lucia so we have more time to spend at some of the Leeward Islands.

Here are a few of the weather maps we’re using to decide the best time to sail.  PassageWeather.com shows the surface wind direction and speed.  We need to pick a day when the direction comes out of the east and the further to the south we can get it, the better.  Also, the lighter the wind, the more comfortable it will be for our inexperienced crew.

The next chart from windguru forecasts the wind direction, speed and also the waves.  Waves can come from the local wind conditions as well as storms in other parts of the ocean. Once again, out of the east will be best and since we don’t have a schedule to meet, we can sit in some beautiful anchorage goofing off until the conditions are right.
