Monday February 24
We left Spanish Town on a 057M bearing. Sailing was slow at first but it soon picked up and after a few tacks we were rounding Mosquito Rock into Saba Rock in search of a mooring. From first impressions, this may be a 2-nighter. Nice

Even though we are not packing a thermometer we know that this is one of the hottest days yet. My weather network app reads 28C with a 'feels like' of 37C. Grand Narrows is reading 1C.
Shortly after arriving in St Lucia 20 days ago I had to deal with a rather serious case of mosquito bites. Mosquito Island next to Mosquito Rock makes one think that mosquitos may be a plenty here. I am prepared this time for them.

Just as we picked our mooring ball, Marcy opened the reefer and plated a lunch made from left over (pesto/black olive angle hair pasta, hummus, various cheeses, apple, bread and potato chips. I have eaten very well on this trip but, I have to say that this was one of my best enjoyed meals. I washed it down with an ice cold Island Hopper IPA. Yummy!
After lunch, everyone disappeared to their quarters for a nap. Stan Rogers was on the stereo and now Loreena McKennitt. This is very civilized.
All awaken from a brief nap, we loaded into the dinghy motoring to the Bitter End Marina for a look around and possibly a cold rum drink. Afterwards, we went to the neighbouring marina, Saba Rock for dinner.
