Sunday April 27

We left Rodney Bay on a short day trip over to Pigeon Island for a picnic lunch.  We choose to drop an anchor but it would not set.  We tried again and again and again.  Finally the anchor caught but unfortunately it was wrapped around a heavy massed, unidentified blob.  Betsy went in to investigate.

The Blob

The Rescue Crew

We called the Moorings base who deployed a rescue crew.  It was determined to be a big piece of coral.  Utilizing the windlass and the halyards we were able to release the coral back to the bottom of the bay.

Coral - with 'No Regrets'

With the excitement over.  We headed back to the base to prepare ourselves for Marie's big concert with her students at the Cathedral in Castries.    

With support by the week-long instruction with the Venezuelan instructors, this concert was amazing. Classical with a Lucian beat.  

Well done Marie!!
