We sailed from Port of Spain on Wednesday afternoon, and after sitting at anchor for a few hours to take on fuel, got underway for St Lucia.
On Thursday, we were at sea during the daytime for the first time since we crossed the Atlantic and enjoyed fantastic weather and dolphins. We passed St Vincent around lunchtime and within a couple of hours could already see the mountains of St Lucia. It is a very beautiful island and the berth is probably the nicest we have visited so far in the Caribbean.
The visit has started off quite slowly, with less visitors than we are used to this first weekend, but we expect it to get much busier in the coming days.
It is sad that we have not been joined here by our good friend Mark Knight, who had always planned to visit in St Lucia but continues to mourn the loss of his 18 year old son Mike. Please pray for Mark and Kathy and the rest of the family as these are difficult days for them. Read Mark's blog at http://www.mkknight.com/
The kids are loving the bigger cabin and often have their friends in to play now. It is great to see how much fun they all have in the bigger room.
